Tourists in St. Thomas (U.S. Virgin Islands) primarily navigate the island using Taxis and "Safari Buses." Standard taxis are plentiful but operate on a unique system: they charge per person, per destination, rather than using a meter, and they are often shared vans that pick up multiple groups. The "Safari Buses" are open-air trucks converted with bench seating; these are the most affordable way to travel, costing only $1 to $2 for trips along major routes between Charlotte Amalie, Red Hook, and the main beaches. However, they do not have a fixed schedule and are best for adventurous travelers not on a strict timeline. For those who want more freedom, renting a car or Jeep is popular, though it is vital to remember that in St. Thomas, you drive on the left side of the road, despite the cars being left-hand drive (American-style). The island’s terrain is very hilly with steep, winding roads, so many visitors find it less stressful to rely on taxis. For travel to nearby St. John, tourists use the frequent passenger ferries departing from Red Hook or the downtown waterfront.
