We have friends staying at the Royal Palm next week. It's their first visit to the island.

Against my advice they do not intend to rent a car. I have pointed them to GC, Dreams, Mullet, Maho, Orient and Ance Marcel. For the north island trips they intend to hire a driver or taxi.

Is there any way to get around in the Maho/Cole Bay/Cupacoy area like a bus? I have never paid any attention to public transit since we always rent a car. I have to imagine if they want to taxi all week they are going to go through $500 or more and the shorter trips could be handled by bus.
