Port Canaveral: Local transportation

[GTJ]

What local transportation is available between Port Canaveral and the city of Cape Canaveral? Our cruise vessel will be calling at Terminal 10 at Port Canaveral on January 17, 2024. Ordinarily I would be inclined to walk from Terminal 10 over the Canaveral Locks bridge (state highway 401) to the other side, but appears that walking over the bridge and its approach roads is inadvisable or possibly prohibited outright. What transportation options, if any, exist?

prohibited outright .... no approach sidewalks ... no foot path on the bridge(s) .... security will be called but will they respond b4 you get across is a different issue ....

 

a taxi or U/L is basically your only choice ... local bus service doesn't cross the bridge to the north side ... no route ...

Is it difficult finding a taxi for a local trip? Can I expect there to be taxis at the port, or should I anticipate having to call? (No smartphone, so Uber/Lyft not practicable.) On the return trip, is there a taxi stand anywhere in the city of Cape Canaveral? Or another telephone to return? Are local taxis responsive to requests for service? In having researched a bit, it seems that most of the for-hire services are for for persons traveling between Port Canaveral and the city of Orlando, not between Port Canaveral and the city of Cape Canaveral.

There are no taxi's unfortunately that pick up from the cruise terminals in Port. You either have to use Uber/Lyft or call a ride service. As for walking on either st rt401 or 528 it is prohibited except for emergency reasons.

Is this something new? We live 2 miles from CT-3 and generally use Uber/Lyft to get there but  have taken taxis home from  CT-3, CT-6 and CT8.
