This picture is in the main bus stand. Apparently, this is the only island where buses are made of wood!

Drivers here drive on the left side of the road (like most of the world). However, it was not that way always. Till about 2009, most cars were from America. They were costly and few people owned them. And they drove on the right side like in the US.

But cheaper cars from Asia started flooding the market and they became popular. Every single family has a car today! But the steering wheels were on the other side.

In 2009, the government switched the side of the roads!! Can you imagine the complexity of the project? The turning of boards, the paintings on the road, the confusion for drivers…. But they got it done over a period of 3 months!!

Interestingly, American cars are considered sturdier and higher quality here!

Still no motorcycle, scooter or bicycle – much like Fiji.
