Transport options in Angola can be somewhat difficult due to poor infrastructure; although, the country is now trying to rebuild its transport systems. There are three train networks; however, they only serve the regional areas and do not connect nationally. These are Luanda Railway, in the north, serving the Luanda district; Benguela Railway, in the central region; and Mocamedes Railway, serving the southern provinces. Bus services are limited and often crowded, and a better option would be to look out for blue and white painted minibuses, which serve as shared taxis and can be found in most larger cities like Benguela, Lubango and Luanda. It is also possible to take a scenic route by train if you are travelling from Benguela to Cubal.
