Pago Pago - Post Report Question and Answers

Are local buses, trams, trains or taxis safe and affordable?

Sort of. Local buses make the loop around the island. They are safe, but play music at around 110 decibels. Even with earplugs expect permanent hearing damage. That is not hyperbole. Often inappropriate rap lyrics. Expat parents that have occasion to ride the bus have asked music to be changed or turned down. This is usually met with laughter from the entire bus and is not changed. It only costs $1, so you get what you pay for. - Feb 2018
