Magen's Bay by $1 bus from town?

[caribtravel]

A few years ago we walked to town and then many bus options from CA to various beaches. Can you get to Magen Bay from CA by $1 bus. thanks

No. It doesn't even get close to Magens.

$2 to Sapphire though and that's a nicer day!

Are the busses challenging to use in st. Thomas?

Amanda: I wouldn't say they are challenging, but they are confusing. There are regular buses that say VITRAN on them and then there are safari vehicles, which are actually licensed as taxis, but run the same route as the bus does. Neither service stops directly at any beach, although you can get close to Sapphire, Smith Bay, Lindbergh Bay and John Brewer's. Coki is quite a walk.

They are not as regular as you are accustomed to in other destinations but many ppl use them to save money and to ride with locals. But you will usually lose some time using the $2 bus because of waiting time and the stops youmake so if you want to minimize your travel time the taxi is the preferred way to go.

 

As with all buses you do have to walk to the bus stop and then to the beach from where they drop you. But the taxis DO drop you right at the beach, and it's only $9 - 10pp each way from Havensight.

The safari route is not the same as the bus routes.

You could be right, I have never taken the safari. If they ever start inspecting them and making sure the drivers are paying gross receipts, I might try.;)
