School Buses

The University has buses running daily between the True Blue campus, the Grand Anse campus and L'anse Aux Epines. These buses are free and follow a daily bus route and schedule. After dark, the L'Anse Aux Epines bus is required to take you to your door. The L'Anse Aux Epines bus schedule is less frequent than the Grand Anse bus. The Grand Anse bus comes several times per hour and makes several stops in between campus and Grand Anse. The weekend bus schedule is also less frequent for both routes.

Local Buses

City or "Reggae" buses run between Grand Anse and downtown St. George's. These buses are actually large mini-vans that are privately owned. They were dubbed 'reggae buses' by students because they blare reggae music. The buses are distinguished from the taxis by having a name on the front windshield, such as 'Assassin' or 'Night Girl'. Taxis usually have a small sign on the back windshield that says 'taxi'. The bus fare is $1.50 EC each way into St. Georges and they come along the route every few minutes. These buses are great for running errands, such as going to the post office, the market or spending a day in St. George's. They are perfectly safe in terms of crime, although the style of driving is quite different than in the US. Taxis can be quite expensive, so make sure to differentiate which you are in. The "Reggae" buses will take you to other areas of the island if you ask. The fare will be more than $1.50 EC so it is important to set the price before you get on.
