Page "Kabul" Paragraph 131

Long distance road journeys are made by private Mercedes-Benz coach buses or various types of vans, trucks and cars.

Although a nation wide bus service is available from Kabul, flying is safer, especially for foreigners.

The city's public bus service ( Milli Bus / " National Bus ") was established in the 1960s to take commuters on daily routes to many destinations.

The service currently has about 800 buses, but it is gradually expanding and upgrading the fleet.

The Kabul bus system has recently discovered a new source of revenue in whole-bus advertising from MTN similar to " bus wrap " advertising on public transit in more developed nations.

There is also an express bus that runs from the city centre to Kabul International Airport for Safi Airways passengers.

There are also white and yellow older model Toyota Corolla taxicabs just about every where in the city.
