Bermuda Buses

Hopping buses in Bermuda is simple and affordable

Bermuda Buses

Bus service is widely available throughout Bermuda and many visitors find it a convenient way to navigate the area. Fares are considerably less expensive than taxis, and an abundance of routes helps connect passengers to all parts of the island.

Buses can be easily identified by their pink and blue exterior. A ride costs between $3(USD) and $4.50(USD) depending on the route and distance. Riders are welcome to pay in cash, but drivers only accept coins and exact change. Budget-conscious vacationers may choose to purchase tokens or transportation passes because they can also be used on any of the island's ferries.

Eleven routes serve nearly every area of the island. All routes originate from the central bus terminal in Hamilton and most run from 7 a.m. until 11 p.m. Because locals also rely on buses, they can be very crowded during the hours before and after the work day.

It is important for riders to note that buses stop only if a passenger has requested the stop or if there are people waiting. If you are unsure about where you'll need to get off, tell the bus driver your destination when you board. They usually do not mind calling out stops upon arrival.
