There is only one road that goes the length of South Tarawa. People catch rides with the "Transports" that travel up and down the road. Some of the Transports are covered, some are open. Some are vans and some are actual buses. There seems to be no limit as to the number of passengers that can ride. Sometimes people just walk. There are no sidewalks so they walk at the edge of the road or in the road as vehicles rumble by, splashing water or raising a cloud of dust. It only takes a few hours to go from splashing to dust.
The school has a nice new bus that is used to take students on field trips. It sometimes takes students to and from school. But because of insurance purposes cannot pick up other passengers, so it travels the road with a sign in the window that says "SORRY."
