The taxis are extremely cheap and reliable and you can easily rent a taxi for a whole day, because the price of petrol is extremely low, about $0.05/litre!
The buses run all over the island in the daytime. Locals often go Por Puesto, a taxi for 5 people which has a fixed route. In other words, a kind of collective taxi. This is a very cheap, safe and popular alternative to a regular taxi.
