Buses
There are two types of buses on the island: the "classic" ones (called Konvoi) and the shared minibuses (called BUS), which can carry around a dozen people. They share the network, and in all cases, they remain affordable—expect to pay roughly between $0.50 and $2 depending on the route. Note that some hotels also offer shuttles for their guests to/from the capital's center.

Absent Transport Modes
The island isn’t very large, and several transport options are missing. There are no trains, no domestic flights, and no regular maritime services.
