THERE IS A 17,000KM ROAD NETWORK, TRAFFIC DRIVE ON THE LEFT.
SPEED LIMITS ARE APPROXIMATELY 50KMH IN TOWNS AND 80KMH ON
ON HIGHWAYS.
CAR RENTAL - IT IS EXPENSIVE TO RENT A CAR. A LARGE DEPOSIT
HAS TO BE LEFT. THERE IS A GENERAL CONSUMPTION TAX OF 15 PER
CENT ON ALL CAR HIRE TRANSACTIONS.
BUSES - MINIBUSES RUN THROUGHOUT THE ISLAND ACCORDING TO
DEMAND AND CAN BE FLAGGED DOWN AT REGULAR STOPS AND IN
BETWEEN. PROBABLY THE CHEAPEST WAY OF GETTING AROUND, BUT
THEY CAN GET VERY CROWDED.
TAXIS - THERE ARE PLENTY OF TAXIS, BUT ALWAYS AGREE A PRICE
IN ADVANCE. MOST LARGE HOTELS AND THE TWO LARGE
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS DISPLAY LISTS OF RECOMMENDED FARES
TO MAIN DESTINATIONS, CALLED JUTA TAXIS.
BICYCLES & MOTORBIKES - RENTAL IS AVAILABLE IN MOST RESORTS,
BUT THE COST IS HIGH. A DEPOSIT & INSURANCE WILL BE REQUIRED.
