Transport in Saint Kitts and Nevis

Transport in Saint Christopher and Nevis (a two-island federation) includes normal road traffic, public buses, taxis, ferries, airports, and one railway.

($1 US = $2.7 EC) Destinations off of the main route are often possible on request, at the discretion of the driver, on payment of a small extra charge.

Buses that will be travelling north out of Charlestown wait to leave from the southwest end of D. R. Walwyn Plaza.

Buses travelling south from Charlestown wait to leave from the northern end of Memorial Square.

A taxi can traverse any accessible area on the islands, including even dirt roads and trails, if the driver agrees.

The Deep Water Harbour at Basseterre is capable of both hosting and berthing of cruise ships or the handling of cargos.

On rare occasions there is a special ferry day trip from Basseterre to Oranjestad, St Eustatius and back again.

St. Kitts has a 29 km (18 mi) 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) narrow-gauge railway, which centres in the capital, Basseterre, and circles the island.
