Getting Around Barbados

We think the best way to get around in Barbados is by bus (surprise surprise). There is a flat fare of BBD 1.50, which is the equivalent of USD 0.75. That's about 46p, if you're from the UK.

You can take the government bus (pictured here) or a private yellow bus (about which, more later). Either way, the fare is the same.

If you take a government bus, you must pay the exact fare. You wait at designated bus stops and the ride is on the whole very peaceful and sedate.

A detailed timetable of the various routes may be had at the website of the Barbados Transport Board.
