Montserrat does not have a train system — there are no railways on the island.
Why No Trains?
- Small size: Montserrat is only about 102 square kilometers (39 sq mi).
- Low population: Fewer than 5,000 residents, so a rail system isn’t economically viable.
- Terrain: The island has mountainous, volcanic terrain, making rail construction difficult and costly.
- Road network: Cars, buses, and taxis sufficiently meet local transportation needs.
Main Modes of Transport Instead
- Road transport: Private cars, minibuses (informal public transport), and taxis
- Air travel: Via John A. Osborne Airport
- Sea travel: Through Little Bay Port and ferry service to Antigua
