Transport in Iceland

[1] Domestic flights serve places that reduce travel time significantly, or are seasonally inaccessible by road.

[3] In the past, locomotive-powered and hand-operated rails were temporarily set up during certain construction projects, but these have long since been dismantled.

[10][dubious – discuss] Automobile ownership is also relatively high—the country has one of the highest rates in the world—with 580 cars per 1000 people (as of 2000)[Out of date], a figure similar to the United States.

It is currently served by a coach service, but Reykjavik City Council has agreed to conduct a feasibility study on the railway proposal, saying they are prepared to contribute 10 million krónur of funding.

[13] The country is served by one international ferry service: from the Faroe Islands and Denmark to/from Seyðisfjörður by Smyril Line.
