Large fleets of privately owned buses are the most efficient and inexpensive mode of public transport from the airport to the main centres on South Tarawa. Just flag one down anywhere on the main road and get off anywhere you wish. By the time you want to get off the bus just simply shout the word “I-kai” or “Taiaoka I-kai.” If they sound their horn it means they are full. Do not worry another one will come along in a couple of minutes. Buses operate daily from Betio to Buota starting from 6.00am to 9.00-10.00pm.

Ships operate from Betio, Tarawa to all the outer islands transporting cargoes, vehicles as well as passengers. Smaller Vessels of Canoe type also operate from Betio and Bairiki to North Tarawa and Outer Islands.
