Me too, but I wanted to find out how bad it was by myself. I knew St-Martin/St-Maarten didn't really have public transit per se, and I would probably be stuck using taxis, but not to that extent. It made me think about Not Just Bikes' video on the Bahamas. I planned to rent a bike once on the island but the shop I saw online had two locations, and the closest to me had no bikes. Plus, the trafic was not encouraging. I ended up walking everywhere and stayed close to my accommodation. Otherwise anywhere I wanted to go was like $70 US to and fro in a taxi.
I also wasn't sure about how public transit worked in Guadeloupe, but at least I knew it existed, there are plans and schedules online, and an app. So I also went "to see". The routes are not always direct, the buses have no AC, they are stuck in traffic, but the service exists. I was able to spend my whole vacation there using only buses and ferries. The highlight was renting a bike and cycling around the island of Marie-Galante. As someone living car free, I really appreciate that this was possible.
