Bus Transfers To and From Kahului Airport

The island of Maui doesn’t have a very widespread public transport system. There are no trains, but the County of Maui does, however, fund a public bus system that provides service in, and between, various communities in the Central, South, West, Kula and Upcountry regions, and two of them stop at the Kahului Airport. There is also a Shuttle Service available at the airport.
