Route 10 runs straight from L.F. Wade Airport into Hamilton
Public Bus Route 10 stops directly outside L.F. Wade International Airport’s terminal, making it the main public bus link into Hamilton. Buses follow the East End corridor along the North Shore Road, so it suits visitors planning to base in Hamilton or explore multiple stops along that side of the island. You pay in Bermuda dollars or with tokens and passes; keep small bills because drivers do not give change.
Service on Route 10 typically starts in the early morning and runs into the evening, with headways that can stretch to 30 minutes or more outside peak commuter times. This is not a tight-connection option from BDA; it works best if your schedule flexes around the next departure instead of the other way around. The bus carries a mix of locals and visitors heading toward Hamilton and intermediate villages, so seats can fill quickly during school and work rush hours.
The bus stop at the airport sits in front of the main terminal building, a short walk from arrivals, and signs point you toward the Hamilton-bound side. One ticket covers the full ride from BDA to Hamilton bus terminal on Washington Street, where you can connect to other numbered routes that reach beaches like Horseshoe Bay (via Route 7) or the Royal Naval Dockyard (via Route 8). Study the posted timetable at the airport stop so you’re not guessing which bus is next.
Expect your total trip from L.F. Wade to the Hamilton terminal to feel slower than taxis, especially if the bus makes every local stop along North Shore Road. That trade-off buys you a cheaper ride and an easy way to scope out neighborhoods you might revisit later in your stay. The route’s fixed path also removes the back-and-forth about directions with a driver, since every stop is printed on the schedule and announced along the way.
Plan on reaching the airport bus stop with at least 15 minutes to spare, and take a quick photo of the Route 10 timetable posted at BDA so you have outbound and inbound times on your phone for the rest of your trip.
