St. Thomas, with its stunning beaches and vibrant culture, is a popular destination for tourists seeking a tropical getaway. However, navigating the island’s transportation options can be a unique experience for travelers. Unlike many other places, St. Thomas operates on a per person taxi rate system, which can be surprising for those accustomed to flat fares. Additionally, Uber, a popular ride-sharing service in many destinations, is not on the island.
