jitney #10?

[DaisyGirl55]

I am not sure what a "jitney" is, but I am sure someone will explain it to me! :confused:

 

Anyway, I would like to go to the Wyndham/Sheraton beach when we cruise to Nassau next month, and pay the $15 day pass to enjoy the beach, the facilities, and then the casino. :D

 

My question is this: I know that when you get off of a ship, you are inundated with taxi drivers and people selling tours that they will take you to the beach, to Atlantic, to Paradise beach, and so on. :mad:

 

The jitney sounds more like "public" transportaion, and is so many people use it, I am assuming somewhat reliable. Even so, is it the best way to get to the Wyndham/Sheraton hotel? Or would a taxi be better?

The jitney is the public bus. I used it to get to the beach and found it lots of fun.
