Question I am flying into Ft
Lauderdale and heading to Boca Raton. Is FLL the closest airport? If so,
what is the cheapest way to get to Boca from FLL?
Answer Boca
is halfway between the Ft lauderdale airport and the West Palm Beach
airport. (around 25 miles away from each). I'm more
familiar with the Ft. Lauderdale airport. Taxi/Car Service would
probably cost around $35 to Boca. There are also shared ride services at
the airport for less money that might go to Boca. You need to
inquire at the airport about this. The cheapest way (but it is also the
most inconvenient and I don't suggest this if you have more than a carryon) is to take a Broward County Bus from the airport to the
Tri-Rail train station and take that north to Boca. They will help
you with this at the airport. (NOTE: Will probably take you at
least a couple of hours this way). Hope this helps......Enjoy your
trip! --------------------------------------------------- Question Is
there a bus system in Boca that runs east-west to and from the beaches via
SW 18th Street, or Camino Real, Palmetto Park Rd.,
etc.?
Answer The 92 bus runs down Palmetto Park road to the
beach. For more route information you can call Palm Tran
(which is the name for the Palm Beach county transit system). Their
phone number is 1-877-930-4287. You can also pick up a Bus
map at any Boca Raton Library. Hope this
helps. ----------------------------------------------------- Question I
would like to take a train to Miami from Boca. Where is the main
train station in Boca?
Answer Tri-rail connects West Palm Beach
with Miami and stops in Boca at Yamato Rd near Congress Ave. The 94 bus
will take you to this
station. ----------------------------------------------- Question Is
there a daily bus pass I can purchase. If so, how much does it cost
and where can I buy it?
Answer You can purchase a daily bus pass
for 3 dollars. It is valid for unlimited rides all day in all
directions of travel. It can be purchased on the bus or at the West
Palm Beach Palm Tran office or by
mail. --------------------------------------------- Question Are
there Taxis or Limos that go from Palm Beach Airport to my Hotel in Boca
Raton (Raddison Hotel)?
Answer Taxi and limousine service is
available at the transportation desk at each end of the terminal building, Level One. Shuttles are provided by many local hotels.
Contact a hotel directly at the Hotel Transportation Automated
Reservation Center, terminal Level One, or through a public pay phone --------------------------------------------- Queston I
am vacationing in Boca Raton next month and debating whether to fly into
Ft Lauderdale or West Palm Beach. The deciding factor will
be the Rent a Car. Is one city cheaper than the
other?
Answer Both cities are pretty comparable as far as rice
of a car rental. Different car rental companies, however,
can be running different deals at different times of the year. I
know some people that ave rented a car for little more than 100
dollars for an entire week. Your best bet is to keep checking back with different car rental companies in both cities for the best
price. Good Luck.
