I rode a minibus from the Villa Beach area of southern St. Vincent Island into Kingstown, the capital of the Caribbean nation of St. Vincent & the Grenadines. A friendly local man I sat next to in the van provided me some good information and walked me along Bay Street to the Magikleen dry cleaners and laundry service.

We Love St. Vincent We have been twice and booked again for 2021. This is such a typical Vincy experience, so welcoming, so friendly so helpful. You were lucky with the empty dollar bus. we did Kingstown to Chateaubelair, about an hour. The bus was full all the way. By full, I mean various people sitting on my lap, others standing. The amazing part was we wanted to go beyond Chateaubelair, but the buses stop there. The bus driver phoned ahead to a friend who drove us the last few miles.

I have recently returned from the UK, having spent time in St. Vincent and The Grendines. Please feel free to take a look at some of the videos I have uploaded. We actually ate at The French Verandah twice (at the very start of your video)!!! I have some footage of this. The Dollar Bus is quite the experience. I have some footage of Bequia, taken from an open air taxi and some footage that I took on the mainland from a car. We only used a dollar bus a couple of times. I miss this place so very much!!!

I am from St. Lucia, and visited SVG for cricket over 20 years ago...was pretty young and naive at the time and ran out of money pretty quickly. A family from Calder took me in for a few days and cared for all my needs. We lost touch and I have desperately searched for them. The matriarch of the house was a teacher called Bing, he drove a Mitsubishi bus at the time with his young bus conductor called Mooshay. If anyone knows of him, please respond. Thank you.

You didn't greet the gentleman. I did the same in Barbados while asking for directions to three fellows. They stared at me and then I recognized that I forgot my manners. Greeting is so second nature. We laughed about it. When I came back to the US I greeted everyone I saw. They looked at me suspiciously. It took a week and I was back to the concrete jungle mode of ignoring strangers again.

@Tropicalbliss45
@Tropicalbliss45 5 лет назад
Why? Because he is a tourist? Locals do not "leave the change" with the bus conductor so why should he? People assume that tourists have extra money to throw away but a lot of times people save up to get money to travel and treat themselves; even if they have a lot, it is theirs to do as they please! That music was too loud too and there was nothing special about the service. smh
@spongiimaltluhva101
@spongiimaltluhva101 5 лет назад
@@BradleyWelshTV The conductor actually didn't overcharge him. He entered the bus from Villa and went to Kingstown and got back $8 change (as he clearly stated). The fare is $2, so no, there wasn't any act of dishonesty.
@BradleyWelshTV
@BradleyWelshTV 5 лет назад
@@spongiimaltluhva101 the fella in the white shirt told him that the fare should be $1.50 which i'm assuming was what he paid himself for his fare and what he's accustomed paying as a local who uses the same route on a regular basis therefore there was a O.50cents difference between what the local and what the tourist paid, if you went to a foreign country and found that you were charged more for something for the fact that you're a tourist then how would you feel?
@anyon6382
@anyon6382 5 лет назад
BradleyWelshTV your reading into it way too much, it had nothing to do with him being a tourist... In this case where he caught the van is the last bus stop just before where the fare is 'supposed' to change from $1.50 to $2 (the points at where van fare is actually supposed to be changed isn't something set into law, it's determined by the van operators & the public in a sense) so in other words catching a van at this bus stop or bus stops like it, it's up to the conductor if he wants to charge the $1.50 or $2 which is why locals usually make sure to have exact change to pay..... Not sure if the point I'm trying to explain is clear but it had nothing to do with over charging or being a tourist
