I-Ride Trolley (Orlando, USA)

International Drive (I-Drive) is a huge road, with many hotels, shops, attractions, eateries etc on either side. To walk the length of it would take some serious time, so unless you have a hire car then you need another option - Queue the I-ride or the trolley, as it's known! I can't remember how much it cost but I don't think it was much - you can take up trip as far along I-Drive as you like, stopping off at any of the attractions. You could spend a day doing this! It's pretty comfortable and you can usually find a seat - it doesn't get too packed and as I recall Trolleys came along very often, probably about every 10 minutes. I haven't been to ...  Read the complete review

I used to live just off International Drive in Orlando - So I have travelled the I-Trolley many many times!! It can be a little confusing at first but you soon get used to it. I found it to be quick and efficient and I-Drive is full to the brim of interesting and fascinating places to look at. Make sure that you go to the Movie Complex on I-Drive - Going to the Cinema in America is totally different from the UK and worth every penny. Huge big seats and huge big Popcorn Boxes!! Also just off I-Drive is Universal Studio's - Very easy to get to and worth a look particularly if you like lots of Rides. SeaWorld is just off I-Drive ...  Read the complete review

However after visiting orlando several times in the past few years and just getting back from being there for 3 weeks i found that i used lynx buses majority of the time instead of the i-ride. The i-ride tended to be over-crowded which at times was dangerous as people fell over, some felt sick from being so crowded in and one girl even ...  Read the complete review

Getting around Orlando without a car is a tricky business. Unless you choose the right cab company, you can get seriously fleeced. Luckily enough theres an easy way to get from one end of International Drive to the other without breaking the bank. For those planning a trip to Orlando then International Drive is a good option of the budget conscious traveller. There are many hotels that populate the long stretch of dual carriageway from the top near the Prime Outlets to the bottom of International Drive at Sea World. Our experience of the I-Trolley was varied. On some days as it is usually with busses quite a number turn up one after the other, on ...  Read the complete review
