Rare LINDAE3213 Posted February 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Any ideas for taxi cost for 5 from dockyard to hsb? Trying to compare to shuttle price. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailBadtheSinner Posted February 18, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 18, 2018 The weekday taxi fare for 5 pax from the Dockyard to Horseshoe Bay would be about $44 (each way) plus tip. The mini-bus fare for the same trip would be $7p/p (each way). The taxi will leave when you are ready to go; the min-bus, when the mini-bus is mostly full.

princeton12321 Posted February 18, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 18, 2018 You can also use the app Hitch. Gives you the fare in advance like Uber, let’s you hail a taxi on your phone, and allows you to pay with credit card vs having to pay cash. Not having to carry around cash like that made a big difference and we used taxis more as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles4515 Posted February 19, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Thanks for suggestion but I wont be taking my phone with me. I recommend the minibus shuttles for Horseshoe Bay but you won't need your phone or a phone app if you decide to take a taxi from the Dockyard to Horseshoe Bay or to catch a taxi to return there. Taxis are readily available at the dock and at Horseshoe Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LINDAE3213 Posted February 19, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Thanks....I have cruised to Bermuda several times ..usually solo or 3...this is my first trip as a group of 5...they did not have a shuttle years ago...we just did local bus and walked down the hills..it's fun to see the changes as the years go by and still an easy trip from bayonne...I think originally it was Explorer in 2005.

bromleypod Posted March 20, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Do the shuttle buses run right down to the beach and pick people up from there too ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDA1125 Posted April 3, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Yes. Where are the shuttle buses located when you get off the ship ? In the past we took the buses but way too many stops and overcrowding. Also I am assuming you pay in cash ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past we took the buses but way too many stops and overcrowding. Also I am assuming you pay in cash ? When you get off the ship, the mini-buses will be parked in Zone 5 of the Transportation Zone, see map below: The fare is $7 P/P, cash, paid to the driver when boarding the mini-bus.

Traveling with a party of 10 (8 plus two 3 year olds)Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Forums You’ll need two. Generally there in theory are taxis that seat up to 4 and then ones that are minivans that seat up to 7. Virtually all are minivans and seat up to 7- but none that seat 10.

SRF Posted April 30, 2018 #13 Share Posted April 30, 2018 When you walk off the ship and to the parking area, there will be people there offering to direct you to what you need. Minibus, bus, or taxi. It is pretty obvious. Unless you do not know what a minibus, bus, or car looks like. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
