Bus Travel

Bus is the most common form of transport in Fiji, and nearly every town or village with any kind of road infrastructure has bus service. Traveling this way is inexpensive and the larger islands have extensive services, plus it's a great way to enjoy a local experience; buses are usually noisy and full of laughter, windows down, with rolled-up canvas flaps in case of a rainstorm. Between the major cities you can find air-conditioned, scheduled, nonstop bus service, but most local buses are on Fiji Time. Ask the locals at the bus-stop or your hotel when the services run; you can often flag buses down at nonscheduled stops.
