During your stay, you might notice two types of buses. The collective cars or vans, found mostly on urban routes, have a capacity of 9 passengers and are recognisable by the word "BUS" on their registration plate; And the Konvooi, large buses typically serving longer routes. The major bus terminals are located in Punda (12 routes) and Otrobanda (9 routes), with routes taking you to most parts of the island including beaches, parks, and shopping areas, however, most city routes have one bus per hour, whilst westbound routes have one bus every two hours.
