Transfers Between Hele-On Routes

Transfers are good for two hours from the time you depart from the bus.  Transfers are valid only if you will be transferring onto another bus whose route will travel to another destination.

Example:  You are on the Kona/Hilo route and you need to go to the Pohoiki-Pahoa-Hilo route bus.  Please announce your destination to the bus operator to determine if a transfer will be issued or not.

Transfers are not issued or accepted on the next route if you are making a stopover, attempting to travel round trip, using the transfer on the same route that it was issued from, using a transfer in a location where the route that you are coming from does not connect to the route that you are boarding or to reverse direction on a different route.   Passengers transferring to a third bus are required to pay another fare and baggage fares if applicable.  The transfer issued only provides one free transfer.

Prohibit carry-on items include canoe paddles, surfboards, body boards, fishing poles (unless in a case), diving guns, spears and any items with a motor, gas cans, etc.
