Getting Around St. George's: Walkability, Public Transit & Biking

St. George's is relatively compact with some walkable areas, especially around central locations like the Carenage. However, the city's hilly terrain makes walking challenging. While there are cafes and shops, essential services for travelers, such as coworking spaces or reliable internet, are concentrated in specific areas, often requiring transport to access. This limits the feasibility of accomplishing all errands on foot.

St. George's public transportation system, comprising mainly of buses, offers affordable and frequent travel options during the day, connecting the city to other parts of the island. However, the system doesn't include direct service to the airport and lacks a fixed schedule, which can complicate travel planning. Additionally, bus frequency diminishes significantly at night and on Sundays, which limits its reliability for late-night or weekend travel.

Biking in St. George's is difficult due to hilly terrain, narrow roads, and a lack of dedicated bike lanes. While there are scenic routes, the combination of aggressive drivers and challenging conditions makes it suitable only for experienced cyclists. These factors limit the city's overall bike-friendliness, making biking a less viable option for most travelers.
