Eritrea operates an expanding bus network with 2,100 modern buses serving 294 destinations nationwide, transporting over 62,000 passengers daily. Coverage has grown significantly from pre-independence levels, with 85% of the population having convenient access to public transport. Services connect major cities and remote regions, though frequency and integration between routes remain basic. Limited metro/rail systems exist; the historic narrow-gauge railway (317 km) is largely non-operational. Urban transport in Asmara and Massawa relies primarily on shared taxis and buses.

Eritrea has developed a substantial road network with 14,000 km of asphalt roads, tripling coverage since 1991. Major arterial highways include Massawa-Assab, Massawa-Gilbub, and Barentu-Tessenei-Talatasher routes. Journey times have improved dramatically—Asmara to Massawa now takes 2.5 hours versus 7+ hours previously. Roads are classified into primary (fully asphalted), secondary (single-layer asphalt), and tertiary (improved earth) categories. Maintenance challenges persist in remote areas; seasonal weather impacts tertiary roads. Urban roads in major cities are generally well-maintained.

Eritrea has achieved 90% telecommunications coverage nationwide through EriTel's infrastructure expansion. Internet speeds remain limited, with average broadband speeds estimated at 8-15 Mbps in urban areas and significantly lower in rural regions. Fiber optic deployment is minimal; most connections rely on mobile networks and copper-based infrastructure. Mobile internet (3G/4G) provides primary connectivity for most users. Investment in digital infrastructure continues, but speeds lag regional standards.

Avg: 11.5+ Mbps • Minimal fiber deployment; primarily mobile-based connectivity in urban centers

Eritrea operates three international airports: Asmara International Airport (primary hub for international flights), Massawa International Airport, and Assab International Airport. Asmara handles all scheduled international flights and major domestic connections. International carriers include EgyptAir, Turkish Airlines, Fly Dubai, Flynas, and Emirates, providing regional connectivity to Middle East, Africa, and Europe. Domestic flight network is limited. Airport infrastructure has improved significantly from pre-independence military-base status, though capacity remains modest compared to regional hubs.

Hubs: Asmara International Airport (ASM), Massawa International Airport (MSW), Assab International Airport (ASB)
