Transit

Mongolia's transit is concentrated in Ulaanbaatar, which has a crowded public bus and trolleybus network but no metro, so ride-hailing and taxis are common amid heavy congestion. Intercity travel across the vast steppe relies on the Trans-Mongolian Railway, shared minivans and domestic flights, as roads are often unpaved. Reaching the countryside requires 4x4s or tours.
