Public Transport

The main form of public transport on Martinique consists of vans and large Mercedes-Benz cars known as "Taxis Collectifs" (marked 'TC'). They are an affordable and convenient way to get around the island, but they can often get crowded and don't follow a schedule (rarely running past 6pm). Many travelers prefer to rent a car during their stay. Rates are often low and the road infrastructure on the island is very good, making it an easy and convenient way to travel around Martinique.
