Haiti transportation
Posted: Mon September 11, 2006 03:07 AM UTC
Is it possible to take a bus from Porte au Prince to Porte au Paix, Haiti? If so, is it safe to take that form of travel? (I mean, safe within reason--I know it's not like American travel.) If that is not possible, what is the cheapest way to travel?
Thank you,
Dewbird

Are you traveling to Haiti by yourself, without anyone thats ever been there? Port-au-Prince and Port-au-Paix are very far apart. Roads in Haiti are awful so I bet you are looking at a 10 hour drive MINIMUM. Although I have not been to that part of Haiti. There is no such thing as public trasportation in Haiti. There is something called a tap-tap. It is a beat up pick-up truck with benches in the back end. The motto of a tap-tap is "there's always room for one more" so I wouldn't recommend one of those for more than an hour.
