Bermuda Getting Around
Getting Around by Water
Ferries run on a regular daily schedule across Hamilton Harbour and to various stops at Sandys, Paget, Warwick and Southampton Parishes. In summer months they stop at the Royal Naval Dockyard before continuing on to the Town of St George (website: www.seaexpress.bm).
Getting Around by Road
Bus: Bermuda’s state-run buses (painted pink and blue) are frequent and punctual. It is essential to have the exact fare. A route and schedule map is available free, and books of tickets are available at hotels or bus terminals. Transportation Passes are available for one, three and seven days' unlimited use on both buses and ferries.
Taxi: All taxis are metered with government-set rates, with a 25% surcharge between midnight and 0600, and all day Sunday and public holidays; there is a maximum of four passengers per taxi. Taxis displaying small blue flags are driven by qualified guides approved by the Bermuda Department of Tourism.
Carriages: Horse-drawn carriages are available in Hamilton for short rides.
Motorcycle/bicycle hire: Scooters (mopeds) can be hired throughout the island; a driver's licence is not required for this. Crash helmets must be worn. Third party insurance is compulsory. 'Pedal bikes' (bicycles) can also be hired.
Regulations: The speed limit is 35kph (20mph).
