Infraestructure
• the 2 main islands of Upolu and Savai'i are quite well serviced by 790 kilometers
(491 miles) of roads, of which about 40 percent are paved. Nearly all villages can be
accessed by road, and bus services reach most parts of the country. The 2 islands
are linked by passenger and car ferries with frequent sailings. The size of the
country and the existence of road and ferry services mean that internal air travel is
relatively rare.

• about 62 percent of Samoa's electricity is generated with the use of imported fuel,
the remainder is generated by a local hydroelectric station. Telephone services
extend to most parts of the country, although only about 1 in 4 households has a
telephone and public telephones are rare. International telephone service is usually
good. In 2000 there was at least 1 Internet service provider.
