Over the past 40 years, the transport interchange in Trinidad and Tobago has improved considerably. Significant state and foreign investments were made in the development of transport infrastructure. Despite the specific terrain and basic geographical structure of the country, a diverse transport network covers almost all remote regions and provinces. The length of roads is more than 8,500 kilometers, and approximately 4,000 kilometers has high quality modern asphalt surface. There are markings on such roads, but there are few road signs here, and often they are understandable only to the local population.

In the past century, there was a fairly large railway service on the islands. However, it was eventually reorganized, and they began to construct new tracks only 10 years ago. They are located near San Fernando. It is worth noting that railway transport is intended more for freight transport than for passenger traffic.

The islands have well-developed transport interchange. The quality of roads here is relatively good; about 4,000 kilometers have an asphalt surface.

To quickly get from one island to another, you can use the air network. As a rule, at least 13 domestic flights are conducted between the islands at the height of the tourist season. The flights last no more than 30 minutes, and there is public transport from the airports to the center of the nearest cities. If you have more time to spare, it is better to use ferries, which also run between the islands. Water transportation is upscale and that implies high quality service should be expected. Moving between the islands, a round trip ticket on a high-speed ferry will cost about $18, and about $14 on a regular ferry. In addition, you can move between the islands on excursion ships and other types of water transport.
