The ferry from Barra Point to Banjul across the River Gambia runs every two hours in either direction and takes about 30 minutes. There are no longer any scheduled services along the River Gambia, although private charters are available.
Traffic drives on the right.
Roads in and around Banjul are mostly bituminised, but unsealed roads often become impassable in the rainy season. Road construction programmes include the new link from Banjul to Serrekunda and the proposed link from Lamin Koto to Passimas. The Trans-Gambia Highway and Kombo coastal roads are being upgraded. The services are fairly reliable, but buses tend to be overcrowded. It is advisable to settle taxi fares in advance.
