Belmopan - Post Report Question and Answers
Are local buses, trams, trains or taxis safe and affordable?
Public buses are old school buses from the US for the most part. They are off limits to the US diplomatic community. Only a couple of individual drivers have been cleared as taxis. Taxis here are just individuals driving their own car around like uber, but you just have to know their whatsapp number and call. Personally, most of the public transportation options look unsafe. - Jun 2026
Affordable yes. Safe NO! You need a car here. - Feb 2019
No trains. Get the telephone number of a reliable taxi and keep him on call. Plenty of tourists ride the inter-city buses but I haven't tried them. - Jun 2015
No trains. Buses and taxis are not recommended. - Jun 2015
No trains. Buses are frequent, cheap, and not very safe. (They are all used US school buses and a few 1950s Greyhounds.) Only the tourist sector has modern vehicles. Taxis are ok but expensive, particularly for out-of-city rides (US $ 150 for a round-trip to Belize City from Belmopan). - Jan 2011
