Public transport is extremely limited and unreliable. No metro systems exist. Bus services are informal minibuses (sotrama) in cities with poor coverage. Rail via SNCC and CFMK is deteriorated, serving mainly freight in southeast; passenger services sporadic. No integration between modes; rural areas rely on walking, cycling, or canoes.

Road network spans ~171,000-239,000 km but only ~2,800 km paved, mostly unpaved tracks in poor condition due to lack of maintenance. No modern highways; key routes like National Road 1 (Kinshasa-Matadi) partially usable. Urban roads vary; traffic management and safety features absent. Ongoing rehab like RN2 shows potential but vast gaps persist.

Internet connectivity is poor with low average broadband speeds and limited infrastructure. Urban areas have basic mobile broadband; rural coverage minimal. Fixed-line inadequate; cellular dominant but slow. Recent projects embed fiber under roads for improvement.

Avg: 15.2+ Mbps • Very limited; emerging in urban Kinshasa via 'dig once' projects, negligible rural coverage

306 airports (23 major) provide decent domestic connectivity vital for vast territory, but international links limited to Kinshasa N'djili (FIH) and others like Goma, Lubumbashi. No major global hubs; infrastructure needs modernization. Good for regional access despite challenges.

Hubs: Kinshasa N'djili (FIH), Lubumbashi (FBM), Goma (GOM)
