I&#8217;ve been on a lot of public buses, collectivos, subways and trains. I&#8217;ve never had a bad experience on any of them. But, the best part has been my (&#038; my family&#8217;s) immersion in the local cultures. Plus, we&#8217;ve saved a bundle of money.<\/p>\n<p>For example, we were in Grand Cayman in Dec. 2006 with 2 other families. We took the bus to 7 Mile Beach. The cost was $3.60 per person round trip. We got an informal tour (bus routes go in circuitous routes) at a leisurely pace. We got a few good tips from the locals about 7 Mile Beach, too.<\/p>\n<p>The Grand Cayman bus terminal is located adjacent the Public Library on Edward St. in downtown George Town and serves as the dispatch point for buses to all districts. It&#8217;s just a few blocks from where the tenders land.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subscribe If you&#8217;re ever been on a cruise, this may sound familiar as you walk off the pier or disembark the tenders: &#8220;Our cab is much cheaper and more convenient than the local bus&#8221;.
