Bahamian Slang: Jitney (Episode 50)
In The Bahamas, everyday life is full of colorful slang words that reflect our unique culture. Episode 50 of our Bahamian Slang series takes a look at the word “jitney” — the local public bus that’s part of Nassau’s rhythm and daily commute. While the jitney is affordable, it’s often crowded, unpredictable, and not the most comfortable way to travel. That’s why visitors looking for a smoother ride choose Rickyluv Bahamas Taxi & Tours.
What Does “Jitney” Mean?
“Jitney” is what Bahamians call the public bus service that connects different parts of Nassau. For locals, it’s a budget-friendly way to get around town, but for travelers, it can be confusing and slow. If you hear someone say, “Catch the jitney,” they mean hop on the bus.
