Transport on Curacao
TaxisTaxis are expensive, public transport is limited, walking, cycling and riding mopeds is dangerous due to the lack of pedestrian and cycle paths, bad roads and poor street lighting. That's why a rental car is the best way to explore the island. For further information about taxis and fares, we would like to refer to the site To Curaçao
