The charge was $.80 for adults; $.40 for kids; an extra $.15 can purchase a return trip if you make arrangements when you first pay. The trolley had large comfortable seats and was equipped for wheel chairs.

We booked tickets for the full day grand tour of San Antonio, which runs a whole day from 9a.m.-5p.m. There were four different company tour buses in front of the visitor center and so we were a bit confused with which motor couch we were suppose to get on. There were no good directions on the pamphlets and no directors outside the visitor center where you stand to get the bus.
If you choose not to go on the grand tour by motor couch you can go by the YELLOW AND GREEEN trolley, take note, not the GREEN STREET CAR. The trolley is a directed tour whereas the streetcar is not. If you get on the streetcar they will not guide you in what you are seeing and with the trolley you get on and off whenever you like. The trolley is in my opinion a better way to go than the motor couch because there are shops/restaurants around town that you may want to visit while on your tour and the bus will not allow for you to get on and off as you please. The trolley stops every 30 and 45 minutes and also on the hour at designated stops.
You can also go on a half day tour from 9a.m.-12:15 p.m. To speak with a representative with the Alamo Visitor Center call 210-247-0238 or 210-212-5395. Leave a Comment

By Air : The international airport at San Antonio is around 20 kms from the downtown River Walk area and is directly linked via expressway. The airport has connections to over 50 cities. There is a shuttle service which is available to most hotels in the downtown area.
By Rail : Amtrak runs a service to and from Los Angeles, New Orleans, and Chicago and Greyhound and Kerrville Bus Company have a regional and interstate service. There is a new Amtrak's station which is found in St. Paul Square, between the Sunset Station complex and the Alamodome.
Downtown streetcar service : Streetcars come by each stop about every 10 minutes. You get from Alamo Plaza to just about anywhere in downtown San Antonio within 10 minutes. Each streetcar line has it's own unique symbol and colour. Be aware that this is not the colour of the trolley but the colour shone in the front of the trolley (red, blue, purple and yellow). It only used to cost around .50c per ride. Leave a Comment
