Public Transportation

Under the Ministry of Tourism & Transport, Culture & Sport

The Department of Public Transportation is responsible for public buses.

What do they do?

The Department of Public Transportation:

  • operates a public bus system which integrates with the ferry service.
  • Sells transit fare media including tokens, tickets and passes.

Bermuda’s pink and blue buses are owned and operated by the Department of Public Transportation. It publishes bus schedules and route maps to keep you up-to-date on buses on the island.

Sea Express Ferries in Bermuda are managed by the Department of Marine and Ports Services, though your bus tokens, tickets, and passes can be used on the ferries too. You can also use your bus transfer to use the Hamilton–St. George’s ferry, but bus transfers are not accepted on any other ferry route.
