We thought a small island with 90% of its inhabitants living in the capital would do with less public transport than our crowded part of Europe. Not when we're talking bus services.
The one main road from Willemstad to the Westpunt and back had bus stops (a 'bushalte') every couple of hundred metres - mainly, as far as we could see, in the middle of nowhere - with never a timetable in sight.
We read somewhere that the 'official' bus came by every two hours, and yes: when we saw people standing or sitting near the bus stop we were sure to see the bus soon. No idea how they knew.
Then there were the small vans, converted into mini buses (think the Indonesian idea of bemo's).
I think they also stopped on request, but I'm not sure.
That's not though where this blog is about.
We started to notice these stops around the Westpunt.
Well - apparently it worked, and that's what it's all about, isn't it?
