Transport in Nicaragua revolves around road, air and water transport modalities.
Road transport
The road infrastructure is very well spread across the Pacific side, while the Atlantic side has less infrastructure. As of 2009, from a total of 19,137 km 2,033 km are paved and 17,104 km are unpaved.
Urban buses

Urban buses (Urbanos) can be found in Managua, Estelí, León, Chinandega, Matagalpa and Bluefields. In most cases, passengers have to pay for each ride on a bus, with the need to pay again when switching to another. The costs differ from 2.50 C$ in Managua to 10 C$ in Bluefields. Later in 2018, they made this data machine-accessible, serving it today in different apps on several platforms.
Urban buses in Managua will use Brazilian dual-mode bus and hybrid electric bus that are currently in evaluation process.
Suburban buses
Suburban buses (Suburbanos) connect larger cities with communities in outer areas. They only stop a few times inside the city, later nearly everywhere where passengers request to get off. Like with urban buses, a team serves a route several times per day and the service is organized by the local government. Prices can vary depending on the distance. Nicaragua's main international airport is Managua International Airport.
