Princess Alice Terminal (Bridgetown) → Holetown Bus Stop (near The Sandpiper)

45 min · Every 15–30 minutes · 5:30 AM to 12:00 AM (midnight)

💡 Catch the Airport Shuttle (Route 27) from the airport to Princess Alice Terminal, then switch to Route 1 or 1A northbound. Exact change in BBD coins required; no notes accepted. Buses are basic but reliable and air-conditioned.

🚌
Yellow Minibus (Route M, 1&2) 1.50 USD

Fairchild Street Terminal (Bridgetown) → Holetown (West Coast Road)

35 min · Every 10–20 minutes · 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM
