Public Transportation

Although William P. Hobby Airport is located only 7 miles from downtown Houston and has 14.5 million travelers annually, there are few options to check for public transportation from the airport. At this time, the METRORail does not run to HOU. The public transportation options available are:

1.      METRO Public Bus: HOU airport is a "transit center" for Houston's public bus system. This means that several routes will give you access to the airport. However, the best way to access HOU is 73 Bellfort. The fare for one trip is $1.25, with the majority of buses running at night as well.

2.      Taxi: taking a taxi from the airport is always an option. Given that HOU is located in a major city, there are almost always taxis available, but for this same reason taking a cab can be risky; traffic can be backed up in and near the airport. The standard fee for a ride from HOU to downtown is $29 (without gratuity). In most cities, ridesharing prices are significantly more affordable, but the standard taxi fees from HOU are similar to those of Uber and Lyft.

3.      Wingz: private shuttle service to William P. Hobby Airport (HOU). Only an option for anyone catching a transfer at IAH. They offer reservations, and the rate for service from IAH to HOU is $61.

Ride Sharing

Whether you're a visitor catching a ride-share from downtown after you dine or shop or looking to catch a transfer to/from William P Hobby Airport, prices for ridesharing are steeper due to the high volume of customers throughout the city of Houston.

A ride from downtown Houston (near the Houston Zoo) to William P. Hobby Airport takes about 25 minutes. The drive between HOU and George Bush Intercontinental takes 47 minutes.

Taking an Uber to downtown costs $20-25 for an UberX and $35-40 for UberXL. Traveling to George Bush Intercontinental, on the other hand, would cost $35-40 for UberX and $75-80 for UberXL. 

Lyft prices are within the same price range. A standard Lyft to downtown is $25-30, and a Lyft XL is $35-42. To go from HOU to George Bush Intercontinental would cost $45-50 for a standard Lyft and $93-101 for a Lyft XL.
