Buses are also an option. They’re slower, but they feel more like your living room on wheels. Routes like the 7, 23, 52, or 70 get you close, but be prepared for detours. The drivers are total pros, but they’re also navigating a human tidal wave.
If you take a bus, get off a few stops early and join the ‘Carnival shuffle’. That’s the slow, happy walk where you smell jerk chicken, hear bass from three different sound systems, and see kids dancing in the street. It’s not a commute—it’s a pilgrimage.
