Transportation

Getting Around Bermuda


	"The Bird Cage" is where traffic used to be controlled from, and still is at certain times of year.

Today, public transportation consists primarily of air-conditioned pink and blue buses and ferries that operate at frequent intervals to most of the visitor destinations throughout Bermuda. A ferry service plies the waters between Hamilton, Paget and Warwick, or from Hamilton to Ireland Island and to St. George’s. Both the bus and ferry service are inexpensive and convenient.

Private transportation in Bermuda is available from taxis, scooter rentals, pedal cycles, the Bermuda Railways Train in Dockyard, Hamilton & St. George’s; as well as 19-foot whaler boat rentals for water exploration. A relic of Bermuda’s past is the fringe-topped horse-drawn carriage and there are a few still in service taking visitors on tours of Hamilton and surrounding neighborhoods. They are still a popular mode of transportation at weddings to and from the church. The island’s Governor still uses the horse to pull the official landau during civic ceremonies such as the Convening of Parliament and the Queen’s Birthday Parade.

If you have any questions please email our Online Concierge and go to our map to find the bus and ferry locations. Check our Events Calendar for events and activities.
