What's Your GO ?

Do you need to take the bus? Do you want to ride on Love Sponge, Fabulous, Street Freak, Baggy, Flexible, Shabba, Rough Times, Western, Big Up, Bambo, Galaxie, Street Glow, Fighting Cock I and II, Ali, Mr. Humble, Petrol, Never Trust A Friend, McGyver, Hot Bit, Dash, Super Doc, On the Watch, Cogop, Big Blue, Uncle Millie, Simply Lite, Patches, Easy One, and so many more? On St. Kitts, you can find your personalized "GO," the term Kittitans use for bus company.

You may ask why there are so many buses on the island. There are about 30,000 people on the island, and not every Kittitian has a car. The lil' old bus business makes sure that everybody old, young, affluent or not, can get to work, to shops, or visit other island villages. GOs are a sound island business opportunity for the Kittitian entrepreneur. Yes, these minibuses are all individually owned.

Average fare between points around the island is 2 EC. The bus stops and picks you up where you need it. Just flag a bus down, hop on, and pay the fare. It might get tight in those buses, though, because they get full pretty fast and are not larger than your average minivan; however, as I have experienced before in Nairobi, you can fit a heck of a lot of people in a small vehicle.
