Bermuda Bus Service: Routes, Stops, Schedule and App
The pink colored public buses in Bermuda are one of the easiest ways for you to get around the island. The system is now formally branded as Shorelink, run by the Government of Bermuda, but locals still call them Breeze Buses, named after the soft pink shade of the south shore sands. You will spot them everywhere, from the cruise port at Royal Naval Dockyard in the west to the historic town of St. George in the east.
In this guide, I will walk you through everything you actually need to plan your rides on the Bermuda bus: the main bus stand in Hamilton, the route network, fares and the new Shorelink digital fare app, the colored bus stops, fare zones, the current schedule, free transfers, and the practical do's and don'ts that catch most first time visitors off guard.

About the Bermuda Bus
The bus network covers almost every corner of Bermuda. All buses are air conditioned and comfortable. The locals use them heavily for daily commuting, which means buses can fill up quickly during office hours.
If your cruise ship is at Dockyard, you may see long queues at the bus stop there in the morning, because many cruise passengers also use the public buses for getting around.
Of the eleven bus routes, ten operate between the Hamilton City Bus Terminal and various destinations across the island. The only exception is Route #6, which runs between St. George's Town and St. David's Island in the east, and never touches Hamilton.
A few limitations are worth knowing before you board. The driver will not allow large items such as a suitcase, a golf kit, beach chairs, beach umbrellas or even a stroller. Only a small bag that can sit on your lap is acceptable.
Most buses do not have ramps and are not wheelchair accessible, although some can take folding wheelchairs, and the bus can lean down to make boarding easier for you.

Hamilton Bus Terminal: The Main Bermuda Bus Stand
If you have searched for the Bermuda bus stand, this is what you are looking for. The Hamilton Central Bus Terminal is the heart of the network and the place where almost every route in Bermuda starts and ends.
The terminal is on Washington Street, right next to City Hall in Hamilton. From the Hamilton Ferry Dock on Front Street, it is about a 350 meter walk, around 7 to 8 minutes on foot. Come up Queen Street, turn right on Church Street, and the terminal sits a short walk from the crossing with Washington Street.
A bus at Hamilton Bus Terminal, Bermuda
Inside the terminal you will find a ticket kiosk where you can buy a transport pass, a ticket booklet or tokens. There is a large map on the wall showing all bus routes and the stops along them. You can also collect a free printed bus schedule and carry it with you.
Address: Washington Street, Hamilton, Bermuda
Phone: 441 292 3851
Open hours (per the Government of Bermuda): Monday to Friday 7:15 am to 7:00 pm, Saturday 8:00 am to 6:30 pm, Sunday and Public Holidays 8:30 am to 5:30 pm.
If your cruise ship is docked at Royal Naval Dockyard, the quickest way to reach the Hamilton bus stand is to take the Blue Route ferry, which covers the harbor in about 20 minutes. From the Hamilton ferry dock, walk up to Washington Street as I described above.
There is also a smaller bus terminus at St. George's, at the western end of Duke of York Street, just north of Somers Wharf. Route #6 to St. David's starts from here, and Routes #1, 3, 10 and 11 from Hamilton terminate here.
Bermuda Bus Routes
There are 11 bus routes in Bermuda. From the central terminal in Hamilton, some routes head west into Warwick, Southampton and Sandys (including Dockyard), some head east through Devonshire, Smith's, Hamilton Parish and St. George, and a few short routes only loop around Pembroke parish near Hamilton.
The routes most useful for visitors are:
Route #7 (Hamilton to Dockyard via South Shore beaches): the scenic south shore option past Elbow Beach, Warwick Long Bay, Horseshoe Bay, Church Bay and Gibbs Hill Lighthouse. Route #8 (Hamilton to Dockyard via Middle Road): a country landscape route via Belmont Hills, Waterlot and Clock Tower Mall. Route #1 (Hamilton to St. George via South Road): a slow scenic east end route past Tucker's Town, John Smith's Bay, the Crystal Caves and Grotto Bay. Route #3 (Hamilton to St. George via Middle Road): another east end option via Devil's Hole, the Caves and the Swizzle Inn. Route #10 (Hamilton to St. George via Palmetto Road): faster east end route, around 50 minutes, past the Bermuda Aquarium. Route #11 (Hamilton to St. George via Blackwatch Pass): also faster east end route via Blackwatch Pass and the Aquarium. Route #6 (St. George to St. David's): the only route that does not start from Hamilton, with services to Clearwater Beach. Routes #2, 4, 5 and 9: short routes around Paget and Pembroke, mostly used by local commuters.

Bus Stops in Bermuda
Bermuda bus stops can be easy to miss. Some have small concrete kiosks with a roof, others are just a metal pole sticking out of the ground at the roadside. Look for the pole, not the shelter.
The pole color tells you which direction the next bus will go.
Pink pole: the next bus stopping here is heading to Hamilton. Blue pole: the next bus stopping here is heading out of Hamilton.
This is genuinely useful when you are at a beach or attraction and trying to find the right side of the road to wait on.
A Bus Stop in Bermuda with a pink pole
A few more practical points about stops. The bus stops do not display route maps, timings or the name of the stop. There are no screens inside the bus calling out the next stop either. To stop a bus, stand visibly by the pole. To request a stop while on board, press the buzzer.
As soon as you board, greet the driver and quietly tell him where you want to get off. Most drivers will call out your stop for you. In a crowded bus during rush hour the driver may forget, so keep an eye on the surroundings as you approach your destination.
Bermuda Bus Zones
Bermuda divides every bus route into fare zones of roughly 2 miles each. There are 14 such zones across the island. The fare you pay depends on how many zones you travel through, but there are only two fare tiers: a 3 Zone fare for short rides up to about 6 miles, and a 14 Zone fare (often called the all zone fare) for anything longer.
This is the part that confuses most visitors. The zones are not signposted on the road, and even some drivers cannot confirm zone counts on the spot. A safe rule of thumb is, if you are traveling between two different parishes or to a far destination like Dockyard, Horseshoe Bay from Hamilton, or St. George, you are very likely paying the 14 Zone fare.
Bermuda Bus Fares, Pass, Tickets and Tokens
Fares are fixed by the Government of Bermuda. The current published fares are as follows.
Cash (exact change in coins only, dollar bills are not officially accepted):
Adult: 3.50 dollars for 3 Zone, 5.00 dollars for 14 Zone Child age 5 to 15: 2.75 dollars for any zone
Tokens (small metal coins, bought in advance, no expiry):
Adult: 2.75 dollars for 3 Zone, 4.50 dollars for 14 Zone Child: 2.75 dollars
Tickets (sold only in booklets of 15, not individually):
Adult: 25.00 dollars for 3 Zone booklet, 37.50 dollars for 14 Zone booklet Child: 9.50 dollars per booklet
Bermuda Bus Pass Options
The transportation pass is the most flexible option if you plan to ride a lot. It gives you unlimited hop on and hop off rides on both buses and ferries during its validity. The pass is a paper card with the validity dates marked by the driver on first use, and it expires at midnight on the last day of validity, not on a 24 hour basis.
1 Day Pass: 19 dollars adult, 9.50 dollars child 2 Day Pass: 31.50 dollars adult, 16 dollars child 3 Day Pass: 44 dollars adult, 22 dollars child 4 Day Pass: 48.50 dollars adult, 24.50 dollars child 7 Day Pass: 62 dollars adult, 31 dollars child Monthly Pass: 69 dollars adult 3 Month Pass: 169 dollars adult
Children under 5 ride free. Bermuda senior citizens with a Special Person's ID ride free. Visiting seniors pay the regular adult fare, so do not expect any senior discount as a tourist.
Shorelink App: Digital Fares
The most important recent change is the Shorelink app. The Government of Bermuda has rolled out a digital fare system that lets you buy tokens, ticket booklets and passes directly on your phone using a debit or credit card. You then validate your fare on the screen when you board the bus or ferry, and the operator visually checks it.
A few practical things to know about Shorelink:
You need an active mobile data connection to validate fares, so check your roaming plan before you rely on it. Tokens and passes bought on a single device can be shared between riders by validating multiple times from the same phone, although shared passes can sometimes be tricky. You can still use the older paper passes, paper ticket booklets and physical tokens. The app sits alongside the older system, not in place of it. Bus alerts, route maps and live bus tracking are also available in the app.
Note that three things catch first time users. First, the app needs an active data connection to load and validate your fare, so check your roaming or pick up a local SIM before you rely on it. Second, you can pay for your whole group from one phone, just activate one fare per person as each member boards.
Third, there is no tap reader at the door. You validate at the front of the bus by activating your fare on screen and showing it to the driver. On ferries, you show the screen to the crew at the gangway.
Download the Shorelink app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The official details are at shorelink.bm.
Where to Buy Tokens, Tickets and Passes
Hamilton Bus Terminal: tokens, tickets and passes. Cash and cards accepted. Hamilton Ferry Terminal: tokens, tickets and passes. Cash only. Visitor Information Centres at Dockyard and St. George's: tokens and passes (no ticket booklets). Cards accepted at Dockyard. Selected post offices across the island: tickets and adult passes. Some hotels and guest houses: tokens and passes.
If you arrive at Dockyard by cruise and want a ticket booklet, you will not get one at Dockyard itself. The easiest workaround is for one of you to take the Blue ferry to Hamilton, pay in cash, buy the booklet at the Hamilton ferry terminal, and start your day from there.
If you are in a larger group or family in the dockyard cruise wanting to use tickets, one of you can take the ferry, buy the ticket booklets at Hamilton Ferry Terminal, and get back to dockyard by the next ferry.
Bermuda Bus Schedule
Unlike the ferry, the bus schedule does not change between summer and winter. The frequency does reduce on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, especially in late evenings.
The current schedule is the one effective from 19 September 2025, published by the Ministry of Tourism and Transport. For the live, route by route schedule, the official source is the Bermuda Government page at gov.bm/bus, and the Shorelink app shows live bus tracking on a map.
Here is a quick reference for the routes most visitors use. Always cross check with the official schedule before you head out, as services are sometimes adjusted.
Route #7 Hamilton to Dockyard (South Shore): one way running time around 62 minutes. First bus from Hamilton at 7:00 am on weekdays, 8:00 am on Saturday and 9:30 am on Sunday. Last bus from Hamilton at 9:15 pm Monday to Saturday and around 5:00 pm on Sunday for the full Dockyard run. Daytime frequency is roughly every 15 to 30 minutes.
Route #8 Hamilton to Dockyard (Middle Road): one way running time about 62 minutes. First bus from Hamilton at 6:45 am on weekdays, 7:15 am on Saturday and 9:45 am on Sunday. Last bus from Hamilton at 11:45 pm Monday to Saturday and 10:45 pm on Sunday. Daytime frequency is every 30 minutes.

Bus Transfers
If you need two buses to reach your destination, ask the first driver for a transfer slip when you pay your fare. Hand the slip to the second driver when you board the connecting bus.
A few rules to keep in mind. Transfers are free, but only if you take the next scheduled connecting bus and do not stop over. The slip carries a 15 minute window. If you miss it, you pay again, unless the next available connecting bus itself takes longer than 15 minutes to arrive.
You can only get one transfer per paid fare, so a three bus journey will need a second fare. Transfers are not valid between buses and ferries, only between two bus routes. If you have a transportation pass, transfers do not matter, since you can hop on and hop off as you please.
The most common transfer point is Hamilton Bus Terminal, where almost every route meets.
Bus Riding Tips
A few practical tips after years of running this site and reading thousands of trip reports.
Avoid office rush hours, which are roughly 7:30 am to 9:30 am and 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Buses fill up with commuters and waiting in the heat with kids is no fun. The sweet spot for visitors is 9:30 am to 3:00 pm and again after 6:00 pm.
For Dockyard to Hamilton, the Blue Route ferry is much faster than the bus. The ferry takes about 20 minutes, the bus takes about 60 minutes. If you have a transport pass, the ferry is included.
For Hamilton to St. George, the bus is the better option. The ferry between Hamilton and St. George is not direct, it routes via Dockyard and takes over an hour with the wait. The bus does it in about 50 minutes on Route #10 or #11.
For Dockyard to St. George, the direct Orange Route ferry is the fastest at about 35 minutes, but it has a limited schedule and operates April to November. Outside that window you have to bus via Hamilton, which takes about two hours including the transfer.
A polite hello to the driver goes a long way. Bermudians greet the driver when they board, and so does the rest of the bus. Try it once, you will see how friendly things become.
No food or drink on board. No swimwear without a proper cover up. No bare chests for men. Shoes required. Lost and found is handled by the Department of Public Transportation. Call 441 292 3851.
If you are touring with a stroller, a folding bike, a large beach umbrella or surf gear, expect the driver to refuse boarding. A taxi or minibus is your better option in those cases.
Minibus and Van Services
Public buses do not reach every property and beach. Some east end attractions in St. George and a few beach spots near Dockyard are better served by privately run minibuses and vans.
These cost more than the bus, but they are useful when the buses are crowded after a cruise ship docks, when you are heading to a property that sits off the bus route, or when you want a private transfer for a group.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pay cash on the bus with a 5 dollar bill?
Officially, only exact change in coins is accepted. In practice many drivers accept a 5 dollar bill for the 14 Zone fare since it matches the cash fare. Do not expect any change back from higher denominations.
Can I bring a small carry on suitcase on the bus?
Generally no. The rule is that anything you carry must sit on your lap without disturbing other passengers. A small backpack or beach bag is fine, a wheeled carry on is not.
Are buses wheelchair accessible?
Most are not. Buses can kneel to lower the step, and some can take a folding wheelchair, but standard wheelchairs are not boarded.
Can I board a bus from the airport?
Yes. Routes #1, 3, 10 and 11 serve L.F. Wade International Airport. The fare to Hamilton or beyond is the 14 Zone fare. Remember the luggage rule, you cannot bring large suitcases, so most arriving visitors take a taxi from the airport to their hotel and use buses only after they have unpacked.
Is the bus or the ferry better for sightseeing?
Both have their moments. The ferry shows you the harbor and the coast. The bus shows you the parishes, the housing and life along the road. If you have a transport pass, mix the two through the day.

Visitors' Reviews and Comments Jennifer Walsh (April 2026) Hi Raj, your site is so helpful. We are arriving on a cruise to Dockyard next month and plan to use the Shorelink app for the first time. A few questions. Do I really need mobile data the whole time? My husband and I will share his phone, can we buy a 3 day pass on one phone for both of us? And how exactly do we use it when we get on the bus, is there a scanner near the door? Any tips would be appreciated. Raj (bermuda-attractions.com) April 2026 Hello Jennifer, Yes, you do need a working data connection for Shorelink to load and validate your fare. The app does not run fully offline, and several reader reports have mentioned a 7 day pass that became unusable mid trip because of patchy roaming. Before you rely on it, make sure you have working data in Bermuda, either through your home roaming plan, an eSIM, or a local SIM from Digicel or One Communications. As a backup, keep a few dollar coins in your pocket for cash fare. On sharing a phone, yes you can. A pass or a set of tokens bought on one device can cover both of you. As you board, activate one fare for yourself and show the driver, then activate the second fare for your husband and show the driver again. The same works on ferries. It is a little slower than two phones, so let other passengers go ahead of you if there is a queue. On boarding, there is no tap reader or scanner at the door. You validate at the front of the bus, with the driver. As you step in, open the app, tap to activate your fare, and hold the screen up so the driver can see it. He does a quick visual check, the same as with a paper pass or a ticket from a booklet. Activate only when you are about to board, not earlier, since the validity window starts counting down the moment you tap. On the ferry, you show the activated screen to the crew member at the gangway. Hope this helps, have a great trip. Yvonne Tran (September 2019) Hi Raj, My husband and I will travel with a baby. I see they are very strict about luggage on the bus. We'll travel with 2 backpack and a baby stroller. Can we bring the stroller on the bus? Raj (bermuda-attractions.com) September 2019 Hi, it's unlikely that the bus driver will allow a baby stroller in the bus particularly during busy time. Backpacks are okay as long as they are small and can sit on your lap. Kat (June 2019) Good day. Thank you for your continued support on this forum. I've found answers to many of my questions here. May I bring a duffel bag onto the bus? I could probably fit things into a backpack but Id feel more comfortable with extra room for souvenirs on the way back, etc. It would fit on my lap (I'm a courteous traveler and would make sure I only take one seat - would they be reassured by that?). I certainly don't want to get into a situation where Im haggling with the bus driver while busy locals are waiting. Raj (bermuda-attractions.com) June 2019 Hi, carrying a small duffel bag in the bus is okay if it can sit on your lap without creating any impediments to others. Vera (May 2019) Hi Raj, Your site is super helpful! Thank you so much! We are arriving by a plane and would like to use public buses for commute instead of a taxi. I know that buses take passengers with small bags only. Can you please advise if a carry on suitcase (23cm x 40cm x 55cm) is considered to be a small bag or it is still too big for public buses? Raj (bermuda-attractions.com) May 2019 Hi, the general guideline is the bag needs to sit on your lap and should not cause any obstruction to co-passengers. TK (March 2019) We are staying in a rental house near Maximart in Sandys. We'd like to purchase a pass for buses/ferries, but first need to take the bus to a proper vendor. Are we able to use a $5 bill to board the bus for our first ride to get out to the Dockyard area? Or, are bus tickets/passes sold at the Maximart, by chance? Raj (bermuda-attractions.com) March 2019 You won't get passes or tickets at Maximart. Bus drivers usually accept $5 bills these days. Noel Rubinton (March 2019) If I am going from the Bermuda airport to a West End destination, my understanding is that the fare is $5. But I am seeing a difference of opinion about whether I need to use coins or could pay on the bus with a five dollar bill. Please advise. Thank you. Raj (bermuda-attractions.com) March 2019 Hi, bus drivers accept $5 bill these days although official mode of payment by cash is coins. Note that airport to west end would require a transfer at Hamilton and you should take a transfer slip from the bus driver so that you do not have to pay for the second time. Aly B (December 2018) When paying a cash fare on the bus, does it have to be with Bermudian money? Can tickets and tokens be purchased with US$? Raj (bermuda-attractions.com) December 2018 US currency works everywhere in Bermuda including in Buses and ferries. If you pay cash on the bus, you should tender exact fare in change. Joe (September 2018) Hi Raj, Thank you for all the good information. I am planning to visit Bermuda in a few days. Either in backpack or shoulder bag, we are putting our clothes, some snacks, shoes, snorkeling mask, and items. I heard that bus won't allow large luggage. I was wondering how large or what is size limit of bags in general? Thank you!! Raj (bermuda-attractions.com) September 2018 The bag should sit on your lap as you take your seat and not touch a fellow passenger. Hope the allowed size is clear :) Michelle (July 2018) Hello, I wonder if you can help me? We are coming to Bermuda in a couple of weeks and my daughter is bringing her blow up paddle board with her to use at the beach. When deflated and packed it is about the size of a large back pack. Is she able to take this on a bus when we go to the beach? If no could you suggest what would be the best way to transport this to the beach? We will be staying near Hamilton. Tanking you in advance. Raj (bermuda-attractions.com) June 2018 Hi, bus drivers won't usually allow a large backpack on a bus. The best option is to take a taxi (they charge extra for luggage in the boot). Stacey (June 2018) Raj, Your site is so helpful. This is the plan. Dock in Bermuda day 1. First caves. Then lunch at swizzle then horseshoe bay. Second day undetermined. Looking for total hassle-free. 1. Good to buy a 2 day unlimited bus pass so we can travel freely? 2. What time is the last bus to dockyard? 3. Are the passes available for purchase at the dockyard? 4. I notice A transfer in busing and it says you must take the next available bus for the transfer to count. Suppose you want to stop for lunch in between? How does that work? Thanks! Raj (bermuda-attractions.com) June 2018 Hi, with a 2-day pass you can travel freely across the island in public buses and ferries for 2 days. Last bus #7 from Hamilton to dockyard on weekdays and Saturday is at 9:15pm, the last bus #8 from Hamilton is at 10:45pm (but there is no service between 6:15pm and 10:45pm). You can purchase the passes at the Visitors Service Centers at the dockyard. Since you have a pass, there is no need to worry about bus transfers because your bus rides are anyway unlimited. Transfer matters for other modes of payment (tickets, tokens, cash etc)... one needs to collect a transfer slip from the first bus driver and then get into the connecting bus within the stipulated time mentioned in the slip (which is usually 15 minutes)... so a lunch in between wont work. Pat LaSalle (June 2018) Raj, If we purchase the 15 ticket bus package and are traveling from Southampton to St George will it require a second ticket when we transfer at the bus terminal? Thanks, Raj (bermuda-attractions.com) June 2018 Pat, bus transfers are free. But you should collect the transfer slip from the driver and take the connecting bus within the time mentioned on the slip (usually 15 minutes). Otherwise you need to use a second ticket for the next ride. Deepak (March 2017) We have 2 days on Bermuda with the cruise ship coming April 23rd 2017 ! My wife and I were thinking of buying a book of 15 tickets for $37.50. Is the ticket good for a single journey on bus and ferry irrespective of distance? For example we could take the ferry from Dockyard to Horseshoe bay with one ticket? Thanks. Raj (bermuda-attractions.com) March 2017 You should buy 14-zone (i.e. all zone) ticket booklet and not 3-zone tickets. Then a ticket can be used for any single journey in bus or ferry irrespective of distance. Bus transfers are free and the same ticket would be valid. Todd (August 2016) Can a walker or wheelchair(both fold-up) be brought onto the Bus ? Raj (bermuda-attractions.com) August 2016 Anything you bring should either sit on your lap or go under the seat. Otherwise it won't usually be allowed in a bus. Queenae Joell-Stanislaus (June 2016) Reading some of the question from your readers, I came across a few areas, when purchasing tickets or passes if using a credit or debit card one does have to show a photo ID, it is goverment policy. And with the distance between the 14zone ride and 3 zone ride, their is a required space of travel which all drivers are taught in training, so they all know. Just thought i inform you of these things thank you . Kristen (February 2016) Hi Raj, I'm planning on a couples massage at the grotto bay resort in June and would like to know if I will be able to get transportation either by bus or cab when I'm done which would be around 9:45 on a Tuesday night back to Hamilton where our cruise will be docked? Please let me know. Thanks Raj (bermuda-attractions.com) February 2016 Hi, bus #11 operates till late at night between Hamilton and St. George. There is one leaving St. George at 9:45pm and should be at Grotto Bay Resort in about 20 minutes. You can also ask the resort concierge to arrange a taxi for you. Taxi fares are the same until 12 mid night after which there is a surcharge (25% for smaller ones). Brenda Logan (January 2016) Hi, Raj. I thought I saw somewhere about rules for what you are allowed to wear on the buses, but can't find it! We will be going to Horseshoe Bay Beach for the day, then returning to Royal Dockyard after sunset. Can we wear our swimsuits with appropriate cover ups both ways or should we prepare to change clothes before we return on the bus? Thank You!! Raj (bermuda-attractions.com) January 2016 Hi, proper cover ups is okay in buses (like a top/t-shirt with shorts) and of course shoes. Men should not be shirtless. Melinda (August 2015) Hi...I'm considering traveling to Bermuda with a small folding bike to explore the island. I've found info on allowance of Small FOLDING bikes on ferries...but was wondering if they would be allowed on the buses in Bermuda. Thanks. Raj (bermuda-attractions.com) August 2015 Nope. Buses usually do not allow any obstructive items. Shane Childs (August 2015) Hello, I will shortly be visiting Bermuda and was thinking of a weekly pus pass to travel. Do I need a photo or passport or any ID please, Regards. Raj (bermuda-attractions.com) August 2015 No photos or IDs required to buy passes. Gina Cincotta (August 2015) Hi, Could you please tell me if we can carry a beach umbrella on the bus from Kings Wharf to Horseshoe Bay Beach? Thank you. Raj (bermuda-attractions.com) August 2015 If it is foldable and unobtrusive, you can. Mattie (March 2014) From Kings Wharfs will I be able to travel by bus to Hamilton, and see most of Bermuda, if so what is the fee for bus travel? What buses would one take to get an overview of the islands. Does a bus leave from the Wharf? Raj (bermuda-attractions.com) March 2014 Hi, There are two bus routes from the dockyard to Hamilton - bus #7 and 8. The bus stop is close to Kings Wharf pier (3-4 minutes walk). Take bus #7 goes past Sandys parish (where you will go over the smallest drawbridge in the world called Somerset Bridge and see Ely's Harbor), then by the beautiful south shore beaches on Southampton and Warwick parishes. From Hamilton you should take another bus (#10, or 11) for St George which is the historic town and the former capital of Bermuda. You will see the north shore as you go towards St George. After seeing the attractions in St George, take a ferry back to Dockyard (note the timings of the Orange route ferry ... only few services). You can then get some flavor of Bermuda. Bus fare is $4.50 if you pay exact fare in cash (only change), $4.0 if you buy tokens from Visitors Information Centers at the dockyard. Transfers in buses are free. Tokens can also be used in Ferries. You can alternatively buy a day pass which can be used both in bus and ferry. Terry Collier (September 2013) Hi, I am visiting late September and would like to know the time of the last bus to leave Hamilton bus station going to Kings Wharf at the Naval dockyard on Wednesday 26/09/2013. Thanking you in advance Raj (bermuda-attractions.com, September 2013) Hi, Last bus from Hamilton to dockyard is at 10:45pm (route #8) all days of the week. The previous one is at 9:15pm (route #7) all days except Sunday. Average run time 62 minutes. Robert Meininger (July 2013) Hi - When we leave St George to take a bus to Hamilton - do we catch the #10 or #11 bus? Or, are they the same - which bus takes us closest to the town? Then, when we leave Hamilton to head back to the Dockyards, is it easier/faster to take the ferry of a bus? Many thanks! Raj (bermuda-attractions.com, July 2013) Hi, All buses (except bus #6 from St. George) finally terminate at the central bus terminal at Hamilton located near City Hall. From St. George, bus #10 and 11 will reach Hamilton faster compared to #1 an 3. But you can take any of them to reach Hamilton City although they follow different routes. From Hamilton, take the ferry (Blue Route) from the Ferry terminal on Front Street. It's a direct ferry to the dockyard and takes only 20 minutes compared to a bus which takes about an hour. Regards, Ben (June 2013) We will be visiting your beautiful island in July. This is my question. What time is the last bus out of Hamilton going to St. George's via Middle Road. Thanks Raj (bermuda-attractions.com, June 2013) Hi, Bus #3 takes the middle road and goes out of Hamilton via Devils Hole, Crystal Caves, Grotto Bay etc to St George (there are some services which go only up to Grotto Bay). On a week day, the last service to St George is at 4:45pm, on Saturdays at 6:15pm and on Sundays at 5:30pm. Regards, Sylvia Gordon (June 2013) Where does the 6 bus start in St. George, going to Turtle Beach? Is it near where the ferry comes in? Is Turtle Beach on the same stretch of beach as Clearwater? I love Turtle Beach, an escape from the cruise passengers! Raj (bermuda-attractions.com, June 2013) Hi, The main bus terminal of St. George is at the western end of Duke of York Street and just north of Somer's Wharf. While it is not next to the Ferry Stop, it is within walking distance. Bus #6 starts from here. Turtle Bay Beach is adjacent to Clearwater beach in St. Davids. But note that all services of bus #6 will not go up to Clearwater beach (some will). Ask the driver. Regards, Kelly (February 2013) I am visiting again but this time I will have two small children with me and will need a double stroller for our day trips. How easy is it to travel the island on bus with a double stroller? we are worried about not being able to bring it and having to carry two small children for most of the day. Thanks Raj (bermuda-attractions.com, February 2013) Please note that strollers, suitcases, golf clubs or any kind of heavy luggage are not permitted in Bermuda buses. Regards, |
