Travel
If
you are travelling outside Lebanon, go
to Airlines.
There are no
internal flights in Lebanon as all
areas are easily accessible by car. With no impressive network of public transport, people
rely heavily on cars. Taxis
are widely available. Book them from companies such
as Allo Taxi: (1) 366661 or Beirut Taxi:(1) 805418, Dabour Taxi (1) 346690 or
Best Taxi (1) 567299 who offers clients leaflets with their
destinations and fares clearly printed. You could also 'hail and ride' a taxi from the road and
you're on your way. Taxis are not metered, so you might like to
agree on the fare before your ride...But why not take a cheaper ride by a service which basically is a
taxi that you share with other passengers going along a particular
route. Flag down any car with a red license plate along that route, share it
with passengers and share the fare.
Taxis also depart to other parts of Lebanon and to other neighboring countries from
the central bus station Charles Helou. Travel in a taxi all for yourself
and pay for five passengers or share it and pay for one. You could
also rent a car and tour as you please. Car rental
companies are widely available.
Buses
also operate on a hail and ride basis anywhere along designated routes.
They leave Charles Helou station to different destinations. Their
network is quite extensive and while they have no timetables, they are
quite frequent, operating till around 9:30pm.
Check bus routes from
maps on those buses or click
Bus
Route.
It is not to our knowledge yet, that buses are operating to or
from the airport.
