system in Dominica. Privately owned mini-buses<\/strong> (look for the number plate that starts with an ‘H’<\/strong>) serve routes from Roseau to all of our villages and are a cheap way to get around the island. Each community and area has a\u00a0designated\u00a0bus stop in Roseau and within their community.<\/p>\n If you are along the bus route you can flag down the bus (stick out your arm) and unless they are full, they will stop.
