Frequently asked
Is Capital Region busy right now?
Only relatively — this is the one place in Iceland with genuine rush-hour traffic (weekday mornings and afternoons), though still far lighter than a comparable city abroad. See the live counts below for the current figure at each station.
When is Capital Region busiest?
Weekday rush hour, roughly 7:30–9:00 and 16:00–18:00 — still light by international standards, but the closest thing to real congestion in Iceland.
