No, you cannot use Uber in Papua New Guinea. Unfortunately, Uber is unavailable in this region, so alternative modes of transport are used to get around.
The primary means of ground transportation in Papua New Guinea relies heavily on roadways, though the network is limited and much of it is unsealed. Public transport often involves privately operated minivans and small buses, commonly known as Public Motor Vehicles (PMVs), which serve as unscheduled buses, particularly in and around major cities. For longer distances, air travel and sea transport by boat are also important methods for getting around the country.
