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.

Pink & Blue Bermuda Buses

Travelling by bus in Bermuda is an excellent way to get around. 57% of our visitors travel in our pink & blue buses because they are clean, air-conditioned and efficient. Select bus stops are distinguished by a Bermuda-stone shelter, the same material Bermudians use to build their houses. Whether or not there is a shelter, a single pink or blue pole designates a stop. A pink pole signifies the bus is heading to Hamilton, and the blue pole is outbound from Hamilton.

The Central Bus Terminal in Hamilton is on Church Street, just east of City Hall. All bus routes serving Hamilton arrive and depart from this terminal. There are 14 zones each about two miles long and fares vary accordingly.
