Transportation & Infrastructure Guide in Bermuda

Public transit, airports, and getting around

Bermuda's transportation system is characterized by its organized public transit network, limited private vehicle use, and a strong commitment to sustainability. The island operates an extensive bus and ferry service that connects its narrow, multi-island geography efficiently. Vehicle ownership is capped to control congestion, and tourists cannot rent or drive private cars, relying instead on public transport, taxis, scooters, and bicycles. Bermuda is also pioneering electric transit with a nearly fully electrified bus fleet, positioning itself as a leader in sustainable island mobility.
