Tarawa Transportation

The road on Tarawa is trafficated by minibuses with 12 passanger seats and a wooden bench. Most of them are family run, with the man driving and the wife selling tickets, but a few companies have up to five buses. They stop wherever you want, and the fare is low. But you must expect to sit in someones lap or to have somebody sitting in yours. Our favorite hobby while travelling around was counting passangers, maximum was 24!
