Taxi vs ride app vs jitney
| Option | How you book | Price | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Licensed taxi | Walk up to a stand | Official rate card, agree before you get in | Spur-of-the-moment rides |
| HOP ride app | App or hopbahamas.com, now or scheduled | Fare shown before you confirm | Knowing the price and pickup before you land |
| Jitney bus | Flag it down on its route | Low fare per trip | Short downtown trips without luggage |
When HOP fits
HOP fits when you want the fare and the pickup settled before you move: an airport arrival, a cruise-port day, a night out downtown. It does not suit every ride. If a taxi is already at the curb and the quote looks right to you, that is a fine choice.
