For the frugal travelers among you, here’s a deal that you won’t want to miss! For $2.75, you may purchase a one-day VIA bus pass that’ll chauffeur you from one San Antonio hot spot to another.
Your bus driver’s name might not be James/Jamie, but just ask him/her to let you off at the next stop. Here are the destinations along VIA’s #7 Sightseer Special route, which begins on Market at Presa (downtown) headed north or Funston near North New Braunfels (Botanical Garden) headed south:
San Antonio Children’s Museum
Japanese Tea Gardens (Sunken Gardens)
University of the Incarnate Word
Witte Museum/South Texas Heritage Center
You’ll be hard pressed to visit all 10 places in one day, but why not give it a try? The downtown jump-on point is just a few blocks from the Convention Center, so for those of you who are in San Antonio without a car, VIA’s #7 Sightseer Special is the way to go. The one-day pass is also good for unlimited rides on all regular buses, express buses and streetcars. You may purchase your one-day pass on VIA’s online store.
Sounds like a winner –
Reminds me of the old commercial . . . “and leave the driving to us”
What was that for?
Exactly! No muss. No fuss. I remember that commercial’s slogan, too, but I’ll be darned if I can remember what company it was promoting! Thanks for reading/commenting. Cheers, Denise F.
Anxious to give it a try next trip in. May get several out of town friends to join me. Denise Barkis
