Transportation
 

Railways

Libya has a railway parallel to the coast from the Tunisian border at Ras Ajdir to Tripoli, and on to Misrata, Sirte, Benghazi and Bayda.

Highway

Total km of roads: 83,200 km
Paved roads: 47,590 km
Unpaved roads: 35,610 km (1996 est.)

The best roads run along the coast between Tripoli and Tunis in Tunisia and between Benghazi and Tobruk, connecting with Alexandria in Egypt.

Libya has two routes in the Trans-African Highway network, but only one currently functions as such, the Cairo-Dakar Highway.

Bus

A fairly efficient bus service operates along the above routes, with two main bus transport companies. One covers long-distance, international routes, while the other is mainly engaged in shorter trips between towns. Bus fares are low and the standard of comfort, especially on international routes is good, with air-conditioned vehicles and good service.

Taxis

Taxis are available in larger towns, and are usually hired on a shared basis, although individual hire can be negotiated. Taxis may have meters, but these are rarely in use.

Car Hires

Car hire for self-drive is not recommended in Libya, although it is possible to hire a vehicle from car rental companies in larger hotels. Vehicles are often old and poorly maintained. Driving itself can be hazardous and there is a high rate of road accidents.
