Industry groups say boosting transportation availability can reduce travel friction for visitors and support the local economy, while recognising taxi drivers’ role as frontline ambassadors
Joint Statement on Enhancing Ground Transportation for Bermuda’s Visitors, Residents & Businesses:
The Bermuda Tourism Authority, Bermuda Hotel Association, Skyport and the Bermuda Chamber of Commerce welcome initiatives that help ensure Bermuda delivers a seamless and enjoyable on-island experience. Reliable ground transportation is a vital part of that experience, and user feedback has consistently highlighted transportation availability, particularly during peak periods and late evenings, as an area where improvements would enhance satisfaction. Expanding transportation options through thoughtful innovation reflects the National Tourism Plan’s commitment to reducing friction in the travel experience to support Bermuda’s tourism economy.
At the same time, we recognise and value Bermuda’s taxi drivers as frontline ambassadors for our island. Visitors consistently rate their interactions with taxi operators very highly, and their professionalism, knowledge and hospitality are an important part of the Bermuda experience. We support efforts that enhance overall transportation availability for residents, businesses and visitors alike, whilst maintaining the important role that taxis play within Bermuda’s transportation network.
