Access

While in Tobago, there are many ways for tourists to get around. For example, the obvious way being a cab, but that could get expensive. A cheaper, yet still convenient way is taking the public buses.  Tobago has buses running from the Scarborough terminal to all the surrounding towns, from dawn to dusk. The prices vary from TT$2 (CAD $0.31) to TT$8 (CAD $1.25) depending on which town you’re travelling to. The Public Transport Service Corporation website for Trinidad and Tobago has the bus schedule for the weekdays, Saturday and Sunday including the price for each bus trip. The two other modes of transportations found on the island are renting a bike or a car. The problem with renting a car is that gas stations are very scarce, and being a Canadian, it would be quite a change, driving on the left side of the road. The problem with riding a bike is that the roads in Tobago aren’t always “bike friendly” and can be dangerous. Also the rental companies usually charge by hour for bike rental, which would be costly if you were planning on renting it throughout your stay.
