Public bus in Grand Cayman question

[KCMiller]

Do the public busses take US dollars?

 

Thanks,

Yes. Pay in cash, US or Cayman dollars, as you get off the bus. Very likely that the bus driver cannot make change in US currency.

Yes indeed! Everywhere takes US Dollars in GC!!

but don't forget the conversion rate

 

$1US is $0.80CI

 

or in other words your US $10 = $8CI

 

 

or if using US$ you always add 20%!

 

she may look 20, but she's 16CI

Good post, Captain BJ!

Many people don't realize this.

They take USD and are able to make change.

The above is almost correct. I'm probably adding in way too much math, but in case someone is paying close attention... (I'm a math person and it's even confusing to me.)

 

$1 US = $0.80 CI as Capt BJ says.

 

That means that $1.25 US = $1 CI.

 

So, if prices are in CI, then you have to add 25% to get the US cost.

 

Bus cost: $2.50 US = $2 CI

 

Bottom line, prices are high in Grand Cayman---except for the bus :).

Either way it doesn't matter as they charge in USD in the tourist area.

We will be in GC on Jan. 25th on Carnival Vista if everything goes as planned. This will be our 3rd stop there and we've done the extensive tour so we're hoping to just take a ride to Hell to send postcards and spend a little time in that area. There will be 5 of us, all adults. Is the bus the best way to do this? Any suggestions will be appreciated.
