Kilgore to Tyler Shuttle
Traveling between Kilgore and Tyler is a short hop across East Texas, and Texas Shuttle makes it a relaxed, door‑to‑door experience. The two cities sit about 25 miles apart as the crow flies, with the most efficient road route following I‑20 eastward before turning onto US‑69 south toward Tyler. In everyday traffic the drive takes roughly 34 to 46 minutes, giving you enough time to enjoy the rolling pine‑forested landscape that defines this part of the Lone Star State.
Our shuttle departs from residential neighborhoods in Kilgore such as the historic downtown district, the Lyman Terrace area, and the newer developments near the East Texas Regional Airport (KGY). From there we cruise east on I‑20, passing the small community of Heidenheimer, before merging onto US‑69 just north of the U.S. 271 interchange. The route threads through the outskirts of Jacksonville, affording a smooth highway ride before arriving in Tyler’s vibrant downtown corridor.
In Tyler, we drop passengers at convenient locations including the central hotel district on West Oak Street, the Texas State University campus, and the regional airport terminal (TYR). Whether you are heading to a business meeting at the historic Carnegie Center or catching a flight out of Tyler‑Pounds Regional Airport, our drivers know the quickest access points and will assist with luggage handling as needed.
Because the shuttle is private, you avoid the uncertainties of public bus schedules. Our driver will call you when they are within a few minutes of your Kilgore pickup, giving you the flexibility to coordinate with morning coffee runs or school drop‑offs. The vehicle stays on stand‑by for a short window after the scheduled time, allowing you to board comfortably if you run a few minutes late.
