The bus system is well-run, safe, and affordable with most routes leading in and out of Port Louis and the central population concentration. Most of the main towns have a bus station. Taxis are also safe and relatively affordabl. No trains here. - Jun 2014
Yes, but not very convenient buses. There are no posted routes for the buses and they breakdown frequently. Taxis are safe and dependable. Some folks find them expensive, but if you consider the price of gas here compared to the U.S., you get a pretty good deal taking a taxi. - Feb 2009
