Public Transport
Road Infrastructure
Public Transport
3.5/10Public transportation primarily relies on extensive bus networks with limited integration. Asunción lacks rapid transit systems (metro/subway) but is exploring electric bus corridors. The Eusebio Ayala Avenue corridor handles one in six daily trips but suffers from route overlaps and coordination issues. No functional rail passenger service exists.
Road Infrastructure
2.8/10Paraguay's road network covers 87,197 km but only 6.3% is surfaced, with 2.9% covered with other materials. Much of the inland network remains unpaved. Paved arterial roads require significant upgrades. The government is prioritizing improvements through direct investment and public-private partnerships, including the Corredor Bioceanico project.
Internet Speed
4.2/10Internet infrastructure is developing with growing fiber availability in urban areas. Paraguay benefits from clean hydroelectric power supporting digital infrastructure development. Rural connectivity remains limited compared to urban centers. Specific speed data not available in current sources.
Growing in urban areas, limited rural deployment
Airport Connectivity
5.2/10Paraguay operates 119 airports with 13 major airports providing regional connectivity. Silvio Pettirossi International Airport in Asunción is the primary hub. Ciudad del Este's airport is the second-largest and is being developed as a regional cargo logistics hub. Direct commercial passenger flights to the US resumed in 2020, though cargo service dominates.
