    When the Queen Emma Bridge is open and therefore unavailable for pedestrians who wish to cross from one side of Willemstad to the other, they can be transported free of charge by the ponchi, a small ferry.

    A very short but necessary journey! The ferries are frequent and efficient!

    It is a short 15 minute flight between Curacao and Bonaire on Bonaire EXEL.
    We left on time, after we waited 3 hrs for our flight. The flight that we were to be on had been discontinued so it pays to confirm the flight before arriving at the airport.

    The best way to get around the island is to rent a car, buy a map, and drive.
    Most of the roads are paved, driving is on the right, and it is easy to get around.
    We got our car from Budget and were very pleased with the service.

    Bus fares are Nafl. 1 in town...

    Bus fares are Nafl. 1 in town and for points East and 1.50 to the western end of the island. Busses run most city routes hourly, every two hours for points west, and less frequently on Sundays. If you're serious about using public transportation, pick up a copy of the Buki di Bus: Bus Schedules and Routes published by the Transportation Department and a bargain at Nafl. 1.45. The vans and cars run more frequently, but with no fixed schedules.

    Taxis are easily identified by the signs on top of the cars and the TX on the license plate. There are taxi stands at the airport, in Punda and Otrobanda, and outside major hotels.

    Taxis have no meters (yet), but fares are standard; confirm these before setting out. Expect to pay about US$ 18 from the airport to town, US$ 15 - 20 - 35 - 45 to hotels and US$ 8 from Otrobanda to Punda. Fares are based on 1-4 people, with a 25% surcharge for a fifth passenger and/or after 11 p.m., and a US$ 2 fee if excess baggage prevents the trunk from closing. Tipping is optional. You can rent/hire a taxi for sightseeing for about US$35 per hour. To get a taxi, call (5999) 5605073 or (5999) 5625033 or fax: (5999) 4656684. Minivans/cars up to 9 passengers are available.

    When you are on Curaçao you definitely will want to tour the island. There are several methods to travel the island. You can rent cars via one of the numerous car-rentals, or use public transportation.

    It's possible to get around the island by bus, but public transportation is somewhat limited. Curaçao has two types of public transportation: the large yellow or blue busses called 'konvoi' and, on the most traveled urban routes, collective cars or vans called bus (you can recognize them by the BUS on the license plate). Major bus terminals are located outside the post office on the Waaigat inlet in Punda, and beside the underpass in Otrobanda.

    There are lots of sights around the island. So no matter where you stay its a good idea to rent a car to see the other parts. Driving was a little scary because most of the times there are not traffic lines on the road. People also drive very fast and most roads are only 2-ways. When entering a circle/rotary/round-a-bout you need to follow the signs to see who has the right of way. There are not many street signs but there are signs that point you in the right direction. I rented a car from the place where I was staying.
