Let's discuss transportation in the Bahamas and Jamaica. In Nassau, Bahamas, jitney buses are affordable but infrequent. Taxis are more reliable but expensive. Inter-island travel requires ferries or domestic flights.
So, jitneys for short trips, taxis if you're willing to spend more, and ferries or flights for island hopping. What about Jamaica?
Jamaica's transportation is more dynamic. Buses and minibuses in major cities are readily available but often crowded. Taxis offer more comfort, especially with luggage. Route taxis are a cheaper alternative but involve multiple stops. Inter-island travel usually means renting a car or joining a tour.
Renting a car sounds appealing, but are the roads manageable?
Jamaican roads can be challenging, with potholes and winding mountain roads. Defensive driving is recommended.
So, both offer unique transportation experiences. Expect some unpredictability but beautiful scenery.
