How does the local bus card work in Seychelles (where to buy, cost, deposit refund)?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 15 days ago
TL;DR
The bus card is sold at grocery stores for 50 rupees and topped up there too. A single ride costs 8 rupees. Whether you can get the 50-rupee deposit back before leaving is unclear even to locals/expats.
