Island Transit, the City Of Galveston's public
transportation system, provides fixed-route, ADA-accessible bus service.
The Island Transit service area covers 27 square miles of Galveston
Island, including convenient routes to TAMUG and UTMB.
Island
Transit also operates Dial-A-Ride Transit (DART), a curb-to-curb service
for persons unable to use the regular fixed-route bus service because of
a disability. DART services must be scheduled 24 hours in advance.
Persons
traveling to and from UTMB for medical care may be eligible to use the
Island Transit fixed-route bus service or curb-to-curb service at no
cost. Patients only need to show the driver proof of a scheduled
hospital or clinic appointment or pharmacy visit to ride free. People
who accompany patients to provide assistance or children under 18 years
of age traveling with a patient are also eligible to ride at no cost.
Fixed-route buses and Dial-a-Ride vehicles run Monday through Saturday
from 6:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., and Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 6 p.m.,
including holidays.
