    Getting TO/AROUND: There are two different buses in this picture of rush hour on Bay Street in Nassau. The one on the right is a school bus - just like ordinary school buses. On the left is one of the jitney buses which run all over the island during the day. These buses are quite cheap - about $1 to ride to the end of the line. Since Bay Street is one way, if you want to get downtown from East Bay Street you have to go over to the street that is one way the other way.

    To hail a jitney bus, you do a kind of reverse wave. Hold your hand up like you want to be called on in class, and move your hand forward toward the bus driver.
