Transportation

Sure, you've heard that nobody walks in LA. But it is possible to conquer Long Beach without a car. Catch the convenient Passport shuttle, which runs approximately every 5-10 minutes. It's free in the Downtown area and transports visitors to all of the must-see Long Beach attractions, including the Queen Mary, Aquarium of the Pacific, Shoreline Village, and Pine Avenue. For only 90 cents, the Passport continues your journey to the attractions of Belmont Shore, Alamitos Bay and Cal State Long Beach.

Long Beach is also home to two different water-taxis, each combining a short-harbor cruise with state-of-the-art transportation. The Aquabus is available as your link between selected sites in Rainbow Harbor. Or, hop aboard the new Aqualink catamaran for a swift journey to Alamitos Bay.

If Los Angeles is your destination, the Metro Blue Line is a smart alternative to battling the freeway. Board the Blue Line at the Downtown Long Beach Transit Center. Furthermore, taxicabs, shuttles, an intricate bus system, as well as several rental car agencies are also available for all of your transportation needs.
