Flatt's Village Local Customs

If you ride the local buses around 3-4 o'clock, you will see that Bermuda uses these buses as school buses. Some runs are only for school children (who wear uniforms) but most are just regular buses.

Almost every time we've stopped in Flatts Village, we've seen school kids getting on the bus.

I was amused to see that the kids at one stop were larking around, and the bus driver yelled at them and they immediately stopped fooling around and got on the bus quietly.

The bus drivers also are careful to be sure that older or infirm folks are seated before they start the bus up, and they don't let me get up to get off until the bus is stopped.

They will also not allow you on the bus if you are insufficiently clothed. No bikini tops or bare chested men.
