However, they are still having a strike. While it will most likely be over by October, you never know. You can check the site for details.

Don't count on it! There's something seriously wrong when the bus drivers think they should be paid more than the local police officers and fire fighters.

Don't worry about the strike. Buses are on almost every street corner and your hotel will give you good info regarding that. As far as the swap meet goes - pick up some brochures in he airport - there are many that offer round trip for $6 - they drop you off and there is always another one waiting whenever you want to leave. Whatever you do don't take a cab there - $30 one way!! These same $6 buses do the same thing for pearl harbor, try to combine the two if possible since they are both in the same general area which is a good 20 -30 minutes from Waikiki depending on traffic.

You can pick up a 4 day bus pass at any ABC store for about $15. It's unlimited rides for 4 consecutive days. As far as scenic bus rides, you could do the Circle tour of the island. I know we picked up some bus schedules when we were there last October, but I don't remember where we got them - I'm thinking one of the bus drivers gave them to us.
