I've had a couple of people challenge me on a statement that I made in a previous video
that said that the public transport system in Cayman is not very reliable
I'm happy to give it a chance and see if I'm wrong.
Today is a Saturday.
I am going into work for a few hours and then gonna meet up with some friends.
Let's see if I can get through a day, just using the Cayman public transport system.
I live on a pretty busy road.
There is no buss stop on this road so.
I don't think any buses even come on this road.
I'm gonna walk up to a main road and see if there's any buses there.
You may also notice that there is no side walk, so just gotta try and make sure you
don't die.
I'm now on the main road, if there's any chance of a bus coming past, it's gonna be on this road.
Again, no bus stops so if I see a bus I'm gonna have to flag them over and they're just
gonna have to stop and cause traffic.
No pavement.
Still no buses, almost at the end of the road.
I'm already half way to work though so if I did see a bus, it would be pretty pointless
to take it.
I've only been walking for about 15 mins and I'm already sweating, it's not even that hot
today.
And I'm wearing shorts and a T-Shirt.
It is now, quarter to one.
I successfully completed my work, gonna head up to Camana Bay and meet a friend for lunch.
I'm a little bit more positive about finding a bus this time 'cause there actually are
buses that go that way.
So I'm gonna try and find the bus stop, which is still a bit of a walk from here.
Then go to the main bus stop and then try and go from there to Camana Bay.
Let's see if that works.
Hey man.
How you doing?
Good and you?
Good, good.
I'm tryna get to Camana Bay, the right bus?
Yeah.
Thank you sir.
Well, not bad.
I managed to get to Camana Bay.
Kind of.
It didn't actually take that long, I'm quite impressed.
About half an hour to get up here.
15 minutes to get to the bus station, 15 minutes actual driving.
Successful planning meeting for a future Srizzil video.
Now I gotta try and find a way to get back.
So I think the easiest way is to go back to West Bay road, one of the main roads, and
try and get a bus back to the centre of town.
So it looks like I just missed the bus, I think I see a bus stop.
I wanna get to fairbanks road, which bus should I take.
Them out by Funky Town, no, they not come around here.
The drivers don't even know if that bus is operating today that takes me to my house
which is maybe why I didn't see one this morning.
Great, very reliable.
So it looks like I'm gonna be walking the rest of the way unless I see the number four
bus going past.
I found another bus stop but I don't know whether I should sit and continue waiting here
because the bus drivers were like they don't even know if this bus is running today so.
I mean I could sit here all day, there's no schedules there's nothing.
I was waiting here at the bus stop when the blue one which I think is the one I needed
just drove straight passed.
Didn't even stop.
I guess I'm just gonna walk.
I am sweating, I am chafing, look I don't wanna seem like I'm complaining.
Can you do it?
Definitely you can use public transport but then you have to be willing to walk in the
sun and the rain to be able to find a stop where the bus is actually gonna stop and then
you don't know when the bus is even gonna arrive so you're gonna have to leave for work
like an hour early so that you make sure that you get there on time.
If you're willing to do that, sure you can take public transport.
