Three years ago, our cruise ship stopped at Key West, Florida for the day so that passengers can explore the town. Part of the package were passes on one of the trolley buses. We were able to get around town and get on and off at various points of interest. Visitors can pay out-of-pocket to ride the trolley buses.

For those not part of a cruise with ground transportation as part of the deal, how does one get around Key West without a car?

The Miami Herald will tell all in an article.

Welcome to Key West. You’ve made it here — either by air or land. But what do you do now to get around the island? 

Key West is jammed with tourists. So choose wisely, by not just your budget but by your driving skills, wallet and patience level. 

Despite its compact size, Key West isn’t easy to navigate.

Cars, trucks, buses and taxis share the road with golf carts, scooters, bicycles, electric bikes, stand-up scooters, skateboards and a Onewheel or two. There are also novelty vehicle rentals, like tiny cars and those three-wheeled. open-air Slingshots, which resemble a motorcycle-car hybrid. And it’s a great to walk, so pedestrians are always in the mix.
