Getting around the islands

Bus services in Kiribati
Buses: There are no taxis in Kiribati - but in Tarawa and Kiritimati (Christmas Island) there are small fleets of privately owned buses, for which it is rare to wait more than 3 minutes for. Just flag one down anywhere! In Tarawa the bus fares are between $0.70 and $2.00; and in Kiritimati between $0.80 and $5.00. The bus can be stopped anywhere by saying "Taiaoka I-kai” meaning “stop here, please".
