By Bus
By far the cheapest way to get around is by bus. These privately owned but government-regulated minivans cram in as many people as possible, drive very fast and play loud reggae, ragga and soca. Don't be intimidated, however, as they're also great fun and safe. Buses run 6am-8pm daily, with a less frequent service on Sundays and holidays, and routes run from the main terminal at the market in St George's to cover the entire island. Simply ask the driver which bus to get on. Bus stops punctuate all routes, you can also flag one down at any point along the way, and with their constant honking, you'll always know when they are around. To get off simply rap the side of the van and pay as you leave. From St George's, expect to pay EC$1.50 to Grand Anse, EC$3 to Grand Etang, EC$5 to Grenville, EC$5.50 to Sauteurs and EC$3.50 to Gouyave. Although the airport is not on a main bus route, it is possible to take a bus there; stop any bus going to Grand Anse Beach and ask if it will take you to the airport, which is just a few miles further on. Expect to pay the off-route fare of EC$10 for this service. It's sometimes possible to pick up one of these off-route buses at the airport on its way back to the main route to St George's or Grand Anse.
