Öffentlicher Nahverkehr
Straßeninfrastruktur
Öffentlicher Nahverkehr
1.8/10Public transport is extremely limited with no formal bus schedules, metro, or rail systems. Informal minivans (hill buses) operate sporadically between main settlements like Brades, Little Bay, and Salem, but service is unreliable, infrequent, and lacks integration or accessibility features. Most residents rely on private cars.
Straßeninfrastruktur
5.8/10Narrow, winding coastal roads form the primary network, concentrated in the safe northern half of the island. No highways or motorways exist due to terrain and size. Roads are generally well-maintained with basic signage and lighting in populated areas, but prone to landslides from volcanic activity and heavy rain. Traffic is light given low population.
Internetgeschwindigkeit
5.2/10Average fixed broadband speeds around 45 Mbps, with mobile averaging 35 Mbps per 2025 Speedtest data. Fiber is limited to main towns like Brades; most rely on cable or DSL. Urban-rural gap minimal due to small size, but volcanic exclusion zone limits expansion.
Avg: 45+ Mbps • Limited to government facilities and hotels in Brades/Little Bay; expanding slowly via Digicel and Flow
Flughafenanbindung
3.5/10John A. Osborne Airport (MNI) is the sole commercial airport, handling small regional flights to Antigua, St. Kitts, and other Caribbean islands via carriers like SVG Air and Fly Montserrat. No major hub status; limited to 19-seat aircraft due to short runway. One heliport supports tours. Accessibility via taxi.
