How far is the Houston Greyhound Bus Station from the Astros Minute Maid Park?

Question

I am looking into taking a greyhound bus to Houston and going to an Astros game. How far of a distance is the bus station from Minute Maid Park? Is it REASONABLE walking distance???

Answer 1

It's quite a distance.  I took the bus out of the Houston Greyhound station and it took about 5 minutes to go past Minute Maid Park

Answer 2

According to Yahoo maps 1.52 miles.  It is reasonable walking distance but because of the heat you are better off taking the light rail.  There is a stop for the light rail at the bus station and you would get off at the Preston St. station.  Cost will be 1 dollar each way.

Answer 3

You can take the light rail (Metro Rail) North towards "UH Downtown" and get off at "Preston Station" then turn right and walk about 5 or 6 blocks and you'll be there. Train ride will take 5-6 minutes (3 stops) and the walk will take another 5-6 minutes.

Answer 4

It is a reasonable walking distance if you do not have a heavy suitcase.

Answer 5

That depends on whether you're carrying luggage or not.

Answer 6

I beleive your look at a 20 block walk. Once you get off the bus, head over to main street and take Metro rail closer to the park.
