Transportation & Infrastructure Guide in Grenada

Public transit, airports, and getting around

Grenada, a tri-island Caribbean nation with 112,519 residents, features a transportation landscape dominated by informal minibus services linking St. George's, villages, and outer islands like Carriacou. Key strengths include the modernized Maurice Bishop International Airport (MBIA) and expanding port facilities, while challenges encompass rush-hour congestion, variable road conditions, and limited formal public transit. Major initiatives by the Grenada Transport Commission (GTC)—such as 2026 road resurfacing, green terminals with solar/WiFi, school bus pilots, and cashless payments—aim to boost safety, predictability, and sustainability. Residents and visitors navigate via buses, taxis, ferries, and private vehicles on left-hand drive roads, with resilience projects addressing climate vulnerabilities like erosion and flooding.
Public Transport
Below Average
Road Infrastructure
Moderate
Public Transport
3.5/10

Basic minibus network connects larger towns and villages with informal operations; no metro, rail, or integrated systems. GTC plans revamped terminals, school bus pilots (Sep 2026), and cashless payments to improve reliability, but current service lacks frequency, predictability, and safety.

Road Infrastructure
5.2/10

Adequate road network with 2026 resurfacing program, Moliniere realignment, and Western Road upgrades underway; World Bank-funded resilience against erosion/flooding. Urban congestion and maintenance gaps persist, especially during rush hours, but investments enhance key corridors for tourism/agriculture.

Internet Speed
5.8/10

Moderate broadband speeds averaging 65 Mbps, with improving fiber in St. George's and tourist areas; rural/island gaps remain. Mobile data supports good urban connectivity amid infrastructure push.

Avg: 65.2+ Mbps • Available in urban centers like St. George's; expanding to key towns, limited on Carriacou/Petite Martinique

Airport Connectivity
6.8/10

Maurice Bishop International Airport (MBIA) at Point Salines handles international flights with $40M upgrades for wider-body aircraft; Pearls and Carriacou airports serve regional routes. St. George's port expansion separates cruise/cargo. Solid Caribbean/North America links, growing tourism hub.

Hubs: Maurice Bishop Int'l (GND)
