By Bus
There is in Mauritius a few bus transport companies which serve the whole island. The two well known bus companies are NTC (National Transport Corporation) and UBS (United Bus Services). But the buses in the island are not modern buses and roads are not always so good to drive. There is also a problem in the country with the street signs which are not well indicated or sometimes does not even exist. It is a must when you come in Mauritius to take the bus at least once, it is a real experience. Some of the bus drivers think they are driving a Formula One car.
By Car
Another way of transport and more comfortable is the taxi. Taxis are found in almost every corner of the towns and cities. There is only one thing with the Mauritian Taxis is that they do not use a taxi meter even they have it in their taxis, so it is usual here before you enter a taxi to decide of the price before. In general from Flic en Flac to Port Louis a taxi will charge around Rs300. A taxi driver knows usually all the interesting places of the island; it will cost you around Rs1500 to Rs2000 for one day excursion.

The Royal College Curepipe
The Royal College Curepipe (commonly known as RCC) is a state boys-only secondary school located in the centre of Curepipe, Mauritius. Since its inception, the RCC has produced many eminent figures, such as leaders, members of parliament, ministers, doctors, engineers, accountants, executives, lawyers, judges, businessmen and other successful professionals in Mauritius. The Royal College Curepipe has an air of ancient austerity in comparison with the new town buildings around it. This magnificent building situated in the middle of Curepipe somewhat retraces the history of its country.
