I-Ride Trolley v Car

[janine29]

We are staying at the Quality Inn International On I Drive which appears from the map to be near to a trolley stop. Does anyone know how close this is ?? Also would you advice to get the unlimited ride pass for the trolley or is it just easier to drive ? (We have hired a car for the 2wks) (One more!) - Would you advice taking the trolley to Sea World to save on parking costs or are there queues to get the bus on exiting the park ? Also if anyone has any general tips about staying at the The Q Inn I would be much obliged !!
Thank you in anticiapation of reply!!

Hi Janine. I think you will find the hotel very well placed to use the Trolley, which is one of the best (and cheapest) ways to get around the area. I would definitely take it to SW if you don't mind it taking about 10-15 minutes longer, while the one-week pass is also a good idea, depending on how much you are planning to do on I-Drive (Universal is just off the Trolley route, while Disney is much further away). Have you checked out www.iridetrolley.com for all the details? You will also find this area of I-Drive one of the busiest, right near the junction with Sand Lake Road. It can get very congested with traffic from late afternoon and through the evening, but there is a lot within walking distance, too.

Thanks for the info on the I-Trolley system. We usually hire a car and although I can usually find Beltz on I-Drive I have been put off venturing any further for fear of getting lst. Think we will give the I-Trolley system a go when we return in October.

HI!

We just got back form Fl three weeks ago, spent six nights on I-drive, had a car for mostof the time, but used the I-ride, it has a longer route than two years ago, goes right into SW. also, there is a large Premium Outlet mall a the opposite end of I-drive from the Beltz mall. trolly goes right into the parkinglot. it sure saves trying to fight traffic. We paid $5 for unlimited use for five days. Would certainly use it again. We were at the Rosen Centre so it was righton their route. A little slower than a car, but less stressful
