Sint Maarten offers a compact but evolving transportation network suited to its small island economy and tourism-driven market. The island features a single international airport (Princess Juliana International Airport), an expanding bus system, and recently introduced electric sightseeing infrastructure. Key strengths include affordable public transport and growing sustainability initiatives, while challenges include traffic congestion in Philipsburg and infrastructure capacity constraints from high tourism density. The government is actively modernizing mobility through electric vehicle adoption and infrastructure improvements to support both residents and the approximately 2 million annual cruise passengers.
