Getting around

Getting around the island is really easy.  There a number of options available.  Reggae buses are interesting and we recommend that you try them – even if it’s just for the experience.  We have included some general advice here.

Often called “reggae buses”

Loud, packed to the rafters (quite often). Very regular and will stop if flagged down wherever you are.  $3.50BBD per person/journey.  Change given.  Can pay in USD or BBD.

Public Buses

Blue buses. Only stop at authorised bus stops and shelters. Exact fare required. $3.50 per person/journey – USD or BBD.

Private Hire Taxis

Available in the car park across the road from Sandy Crest Medical centre or Massy’s car park. Always agree the cost of the journey before getting into the vehicle.
