Taxis/Buses

A convenient way to get around St. John is by taxi. The taxis on St John are a bit of a combination bus service and taxi service. Rather than running off a meter, rates are per person and by destination. These rates are controlled by the VI Taxicab Division and do not vary from taxi to taxi. When you step off the ferry at Cruz Bay, you can expect to see at least a few taxis waiting to take you to your destination.
