In Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, the government owns and manages the school buses for children, while the private sector manages the commercial transportation of individuals and goods. Notably, the absence of transport unions and the cessation of the previously active transport association are pertinent features of the current transport landscape. The government regulates bus fare pricing, which is published nationwide. In contrast, private transport operators exercise discretion in determining rates, considering factors such as routes, categories, and quantities of goods, and adjusting pricing by prevailing market conditions.

The transportation capacity in SVG is adequate to meet domestic requirements and can manage potential increased demand from the humanitarian sector. During the last volcanic eruption, transport providers exhibited the ability to operate with minimal impediments. Given the region's topography, ferry services play a pivotal role in the transportation framework of SVG. The government leveraged the ferry services to evacuate residents from the northern leeward side before the eruption, resulting in the pre-eruption evacuation of approximately 70 percent of the population. Following the eruption, there has been a proliferation of trucks in the country.
