Moon Author's Review
Mandeville is served by regular buses from Kingston and May Pen and regular route taxis departing from the square for surrounding destinations including May Pen, Christiana, and Santa Cruz (US$2).
One of Jamaica's best thoroughfares is a stretch of toll road known as Highway 2000, or Usain Bolt Highway, as it was renamed in 2009 in post-IAAF World Championship fervor, begins in Portmore and leads west to rejoin the A2 in Free Town at the Clarendon border. From May Pen the A2 climbs to the upper reaches of Manchester, passing Mandeville along the bypass before descending to the South Coast and extending as far west as Negril. To get between Mandeville and the North Coast, the most direct route can be found by following signs for Christiana heading east towards Kingston, and then toward Spaldings, Cave Valley, Alexandria, and Brown's Town, before hitting the coast in Runaway Bay.
From Mandeville, the drive to Kingston takes about 1.5 hours along the toll road from May Pen, with Treasure Beach within 1.5 hours in the opposite direction. Negril, Mobay, and Ocho Rios are all about a 2-hour drive, and Port Antonio is another 1.5 hours east of Ocho Rios along the North Coast.
