What the timetables do not cover
- Saint François and the eastern tip: no published route. Route 208 ends at Pointe Coton (public beach); Saint François is about 2 km on foot along the coast, or a taxi.
- Anse aux Anglais: a 20-minute walk from Port Mathurin bus station, no stop of its own in the timetables.
- Caverne Patate, Trèfles, Baie aux Huîtres: no named stop in the NLTA timetables. On the spot, ask the conductor of the nearest route (206 for the south-west, 210A for Mont Lubin) where to get off.
- Evenings and Sundays: last departures are between 15:00 and 18:00 depending on the route, and on Sundays the first buses leave later. After that it is taxi only.
Practical tips
- Check the way back first. On each route page, look at the last departure in the return direction before you set out: on several routes it is 15:00–16:30.
- Buses often leave when full, especially on routes with one to three departures a day: be at the station a quarter of an hour before the published time.
- Cash to the conductor, small notes; there is no card and no pass.
- Route number and destination are shown on the front of the bus; at Port Mathurin ask the conductor for the right bay. Our “Which bus?” tool works on Rodrigues too, offline once loaded.
