Yangon has a circular rail service and taxis with set
fares. Myanmar's version of the trishaw (sai-kaa) is good
for short trips. It is wise to pre-arrange fares.
Air Mandalay, Myanmar Airways and Yangon Airways operate
internal flights to most towns. Scenic boat rides between
Bhamo-Mandalay and Mandalay-Bagan can be arranged through
tour agencies. Myanmar Railways provide services on several
routes, the principal line being Yangon to Mandalay (travel
time - 12-14 hours). Overnight trains have sleeping berths.
First class is recommended. Traffic drives on the right.
New privately operated buses are air-conditioned, operate
several routes, and accept payment in Kyat, US Dollars
or FECs. |
