What are alternative forms of transportation on the island?

You can use public transport, which you'll find in the form of buses. There are large buses (Konvoi) and small vans (Bus) serving different routes, mainly operating from terminals in front of the post offices located at the Waaigat in Punda or in Otrabanda. Some hotels offer their own scheduled transportation services, to and from downtown. Please check at your hotel's front desk for more information. Taxis are widely available and government-regulated with mostly standard fares (not metered). Always inquire about fares for your destination in advance.
