Transport in Iceland

The modes of transport in Iceland are governed by the country's rugged terrain and sparse population. Domestically, the principal mode of transportation is by road, supplemented by air transport for longer distances. International transport is mostly by sea for freight and by air for passenger services, post and perishable goods. There are no railways, although there are passenger bus services.

The Icelandic Transport Authority regulates all modes of transport in Iceland. Most of the country's transport infrastructure is concentrated near the Greater Reykjavík Area, which is home to 64% of the country's population.
