What is the public transportation system like?
Public transportation in Iceland is more prevalent in urban areas, with Reykjavรญk and larger tows having city bus services. However, in rural areas, public transportation options are limited, often making private car ownership a necessity. Taxis provide an alternative, although they can be expensive due to Iceland’s high cost of living. For long-distance travel between towns, bus services are available, albeit with less frequent schedules, especially during winter. Ferries also operate, serving various parts of Iceland, in addition to domestic flights between Reykjavik and other parts of the country. Tourists often opt for bike or car rentals, which are readily available throughout the country. The vast majority of Icelanders own cars for convenience and mobility.
