What are the best options out there other than driving your own car?

Taking the bus? I’m not sure what kind of answer you are looking for

Megabus isnt bad. The bus stations themselves are horrible. Pack heat. But once you're on the bus it's not that bad and it gets there in 4.5 hours. Only 1 stop and doesnt drive too slow. Just make sure you get the megabus and not a greyhound

Bus, train, plane, rent a car (since you don't want to drive your own)

Did it several times a month for over a year... there are no better options.

You could theoretically take a boat down the MS river to the gulf and head to the Port of Houston

Your post should be looking for someone to carpool with.

Best alternative option is MegaBus.

Seem to recall a decent flight from MSY to Houston via Southwest. Not a great deal, but probably cheaper than BTR to IAH.

But, like others have posted, Megabus or drive your own car. I probably average a trip to Houston every other month, and it’s really not that bad. Hell, when Ms. FCP is out of town, I’ll drive over, watch the ‘Stros in a PM game, then drive back home to LP afterwards.

Depending on the trip, I’ll sometimes rent the cheapest vehicle Enterprise has and make the trip that way.

If you’re driving from BR to work in Houston, then just move to houston.

The drive itself is a bitch during the week due to constant jams in BR, Lake Charles, sometimes Beaumont, and lately the construction around San Jacinto. If you can, make the drive on Sunday and it’s smooth. Friday traffic always seems the worst.
