Minibuses can carry up to 16 people. There are two types of minibuses available:
Red-topped minibus routes are not always fixed, but passengers can get on and off anywhere they like. To do so passengers need to call out to the driver, when they approach the area they wish to alight. Generally speaking the red-topped minibuses are faster and more convenient.
Green-topped minibuses have a set route and specific fares. Again passengers need to call out to the driver when they approach the stop they wish to alight. Octopus cards and cash, is accepted as payment.
