RAIL & BUS

A single railway line runs from Ramatlabama on the South African border to Ramokgwebana on the Zimbabwean border. The main stops on this route are Lobatse, Gaborone, Mahalapye, Palapye, Serule and Francistown. Public transport is very limited. Bus and minibus services operate in the more populated areas, but service is generally unscheduled and run according to demand. As rail service is scheduled, it is a more reliable form of public transport.


AIRPORT

Domestic air services operate between the major airports:
Gaborone Airport (GBE)
Francistown Airport (FRW)
Maun Airport (MUB)
Kasane (BBK)
There are a total of 92 runways in Botswana, of which only 12 are paved. Charter services can be arranged to reach remote areas.
