Getting Around
 
A typical family owned bus, or aiga, on Tutuila.

Unscheduled, but frequent, "family owned" buses, or "aiga," regularly operate on Tutuila.

Ground transportation

Several car rental facilities are available at or near the Tutuila airport. On Tutuila taxis are available at the airport, and near the market in Fagatogo. The island of Tutuila has good public transportation (frequent, but unscheduled) via “aiga” or “family” buses. For 50 cents to two dollar you can be taken around Pago Pago Harbor, and to the more remote parts of the island. Buses originate and terminate at the market in Fagatogo, the village next to Pago Pago. Buses do not run on Sundays.  The roads are generally too narrow and the traffic to busy for bicycles.
