Anyone here in the Orlando area or with knowledge about it?
 

I'm from Anchorage, and 4 of us are coming down to Orlando for the Bowl Expo next month.

We were interested in going to to Devil Rays game, but we aren't renting a car, as everything for the Expo we need to be at is within easy walking distance. Is there a bus or something we can get from Orlando to Tampa Bay? Where can I find some info on that? How far is it?

I would appreciate any info, as I know virtually nothing about Florida!

Thanks!

There are 4 of you, why not rent a car for the day? Probably much less of a headache than taking buses (yes, plural) point-to-point. Car rental is a huge industry in Orlando, they will be happy to help you with that. :P

a bus to tampa would take FOREVER! i lived in Haines City, closer to Tampa than Orlando, and it was an hour and a half-ish trip in a car to get to tampa.

yeah, a bus would be torture.

Orlando is not a city in which to rely on public transportation. It's against our religion. :)

The car rental idea is the best one for going to Tampa, but walking is definitely the best idea while you're at the Convention Center. Traffic is a nightmare down there.
