Barbados Transport Board

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Barbados Transport Board is the government owned bus transport provider in the country of Barbados. The fare is BD$1.50 to any point on the island. The main terminal is at Fairchild Street in Bridgetown. The other terminals are at Speightstown, St. Peter in the north.

The buses are blue in colour with a yellow trim. The buses had drivers and conductors to collect fares, but now have automatic fare collection machines since the 1990s. The Transport Board also compete with the private owned route taxis (called ZRs) and mini-buses. The Barbados Transport Board was approved in June, 1955 by draft legislation of the Governor of Barbados. Three months later, an act of Parliament was passed on August 24, 1955 establishing the Transport Board.
