Bermuda's transportation system can be a bit confusing for visitors
especially when figuring out the best and most cost-effective way to travel by bus and ferry
Whether you're arriving by cruise or plane, understanding how to efficiently purchase and use transportation passes, tokens or tickets can greatly improve your experience
Upon arrival, especially for those docking at the Royal Naval Dockyard, the Visitor Service Centre is an essential first stop
Here, you can use US dollars or credit cards to buy tokens and passes
Tokens are useful as they are less expensive than cash fares and can be used on both buses and ferries
If you plan to use the buses and ferries frequently or several times a day
then a transportation pass might be the best choice. You can get one-day or multi-day passes
These passes offer unlimited travel on buses and ferries and can be purchased for consecutive days of travel
It's important to note that these passes are activated on the first day of use and expire at midnight on the last day of validity
The passes can be purchased at Visitor Service Centres as well as at Hamilton ferry and bus terminals, where credit cards are accepted
For a limited number of bus ferry trips over a few days of stay, consider purchasing a booklet of 15 tickets
which is economical and allows for 15 one-way trips. These ticket booklets are available at Hamilton ferry or bus terminals, but not at the Visitor Service Centres
Bermuda Transport Fare is divided into two parts, three-zone fare for shorter rides and all-zone fare for longer rides
This applies to both buses and ferries. However, a pass works for both fare zones
A one-day adult pass costs $1.19, a two-day pass costs $1.31.50, a three-day pass costs $1.44, and so on
An all-zone adult fare in cash is $1.05, while an all-zone adult fare by token is $1.04.50
A booklet of all-zone 15 tickets costs $1.37.50. Planning your transportation in Bermuda requires some forethought
Whether you choose tokens, tickets, or passes, each option has its advantages depending on your itinerary
