Modes of Transport
Guyana's transportation system includes road, river, and air services. The primary mode of transport is by road, but in many areas, especially in the hinterlands, rivers are widely used for transportation.
Car Rentals
Rental cars are available and driving is on the left-hand side of the road. A U.S. driver’s license is valid for one month, but an International Driving Permit is recommended.
Taxis
Taxis are a reliable way to get around the cities and are usually affordable. However, always ensure that you are using a licensed taxi for your safety.
Air Travel
Ogle Airport serves primarily domestic flights, while Cheddi Jagan International Airport is the main hub for international flights.
Buses
Mini-buses are a common way to travel within and between cities. They have specific routes and can be flagged down from the side of the road.
Boats
Inland ferries and speedboats are used to travel along the rivers and to some of the more remote areas of the country.
Safety
Be wary of safety on public transportation. Road conditions and driving standards can be poor and unpredictable.
Accessibility
Some areas in Guyana may not be easily accessible due to poor road conditions and the lack of developed infrastructure, especially in remote areas.
Regulations
Always comply with local transportation laws and regulations. Be aware of local customs and practices related to transportation.
Bicycles
Bicycles are also widely used in Guyana, especially in rural areas. However, there are often no designated bike lanes, so caution is advised.
