<p>I'm a transfer student, possibly visiting this weekend. Is tidewater shuttle service reliable? Are there other options for me? Is taking a cab the better choice?</p>
<p>Are you coming from an airport? Which one?</p>
<p>I’m not familiar with the shuttle or taxi service personally, but I do know that the Student Assembly sponsors free cab rides and shuttles to the airports during exam times when everyone is leaving.</p>
<p>Also, the train is convenient as it is two blocks from campus and you can make it feel just a little more like Harry Potter.</p>
<p>I’ll be landing in Newport News (PHF) Airport.</p>
<p>Check the airport’s web site. Richmond and Norfolk airports both utilize shuttle companies that transport people to and from campus for a fee (Groome Transportation is the most utilized)</p>
<p>Tidewater is listed @ $35 each way for a single - cabs will be similar. [Tidewater</a> Coach - Williamsburg Airport Shuttle](<a href=“http://www.tidewatercoach.com/]Tidewater”>http://www.tidewatercoach.com/)</p>
<p>If you’re cost-sensitive, there’s some bus service between Patrick Henry Mall (about a mile from the a/p) and Williamsburg - take a cab to PHM for like $5, then take a bus.</p>
<p>There’s the HRT 121 express bus service from the PHM to the Williamsburg Transportation Center (Amtrak / Bus station) but that only runs like 4x a day. $1.50 each way. </p>
<p>Alternatively, there’s the HRT 116 bus from PHM to “Lee Hall”, where you can transfer to the Williamsburg Gray Line Route 60 bus. $2.75 each way.</p>
<p>I found using Google Maps “public transport” feature.</p>
