Even though the island is not big, a car is essential! Otherwise you won't get anywhere. You hardly see cyclists or pedestrians here because there are no real bicycle or pedestrian paths. Public transportation also barely exists here. There are several buses, but they are mainly used by school children and senior citizens. Because we were at different placement schools, sharing a car was not the best option. Instead, we each had an electric scooter. We were able to rent these from our apartment complex. On the streets you don't see many scooters, but they are there. There are also a lot of potholes in the roads and once you get off the main roads, you sometimes end up in gravel/sand roads. There are no traffic lights here, but there are many traffic circles. Look carefully which exit to take and make sure you are in the right lane. The traffic circles use several lanes separated by small median strips. So you can't just change lanes. So which lane to take is usually indicated. Cars also drive pretty fast and do not really follow the traffic rules. The law of strength applies tremendously here. Also, the cars don't look too good. As long as it drives, you can take it on the road is the motto. If you rent a car, make clear arrangements and check that the insurance is in order. Note you often have to be 21 to rent a car. Always be careful because drunk driving is common here! You also have to watch out for street dogs, especially after dark. Then they become very active and sometimes dare to attack.
