Public transit, airports, and getting around in Grenada

Grenada, a small Caribbean island nation with 112,519 residents, features a transportation landscape dominated by informal minibus services and road networks, with left-hand driving. Key strengths include efficient bus frequency on main routes and the major Maurice Bishop International Airport, while challenges encompass unreliable public transport schedules, limited evening service, vulnerability to climate hazards, and no rail or metro systems. Major features are ongoing mega road projects, resilience investments, and 3 airports. Residents and visitors rely on buses, taxis, rental cars, and ferries for mobility.
Public Transport
Below Average
Road Infrastructure
Moderate
Public Transport
3.8/10

Informal privately-owned minibus system centered in St. George's offers high frequency on main roads with minimal waits, but lacks schedules, integration, or service on Sundays/holidays/after 4-9pm. No metro, trains, or formal networks; described as a 'daily struggle' needing modernization like cashless fares and terminals.

Road Infrastructure
5.2/10

Adequate road network with 2026 resurfacing program and mega projects improving key corridors, tourism routes, and resilience against erosion/flooding via $15M World Bank funding. Some maintenance issues persist, no extensive highways; focus on connectivity and climate adaptation.

Internet Speed
4.2/10

Moderate internet speeds with urban broadband around 40 Mbps; limited fiber primarily in St. George's and tourist areas. Mobile data reliable but rural gaps exist; infrastructure investments ongoing but not advanced.

Avg: 42.5+ Mbps • Limited to urban centers like St. George's; expanding slowly with tourism focus

Airport Connectivity
5.1/10

1 major airport (Maurice Bishop International) handles international flights to Caribbean/US/Europe; 2 smaller airports for domestic/tourism. No hub status but good regional links; airport resilience projects like $40M energy storage enhance operations.

Hubs: Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND)
