Bridgetown - Post Report Question and Answers

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

You definitely need your own vehicle here! Taxis are unmetered and very expensive. - Aug 2019


Taxis are generally safe, negotiate the rates ahead of time as there are no meters. The “ZR” taxi buses are insane and drive with no concern for others, however, some people do use them. - May 2018


Yes, taxis, but negotiate price BEFORE you start the trip--there are no meters in taxis. - Jul 2016


No trains. Buses are available, but I have yet to see a published schedule. Taxis are safe, but it is best to get a recommendation, as prices and reliability vary. - Mar 2013


no way!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Nov 2011


Buses are crowded and in my view, a little scary. Taxis seem safe, moderately expensive, but not easy to find except at the airport. - Jun 2011


Taxis are safe and reliable, but expensive. Local busses vary - there are official govt. busses and private ones. All can get very crowded, sardine crowded, and the routes are hard to master for all but the most seasoned. Don't count on local transport -- bringing a car is a must. - Dec 2010


There are no trains. Buses are safe and affordable. Taxis are more expensive, but safe. Almost everyone has a car. - Feb 2010
