Train
The train service is wonderful for those who would like to experience the British Raj style of travel. And all types of classes are available. Some delays do occur due to climatic and technical problems.

Bus
Privately operated, air-conditioned buses are becoming more common, running from Yangon to Meiktila, Pyay, Mandalay and Taunggyi. It is not recommended to travel on public bus services.

Boat
Cruises on the major arterial rivers are also very popular and a restive form of transport for those with time on their hands. Trips can usually be arranged as part of an organized tour group.

City Transport
Within major cities taxis are safe and cheap. As in other South east Asian destinations, unmetered taxis and rickshaws are available, but it is best to establish the fare beforehand. Yangon has blue government taxis with set fares.

In most tourist destinations pony carts are used widely and available for those wanting a local experience.
