Far to often you'll end up in an old cranky bus that serves every little hamlet in the road, and you should not be surprised if travelling time with a bus is twice as long as with a shared taxi. But if you're going to smaller places, bus will often be the very best way of travelling. Unfortunately, are the bus stations for inter city travels often a bit out of town centre, while the railway station is very central. Normally getting a seat on the buses in northern Tunisia very easy, but somewhat more difficult in the south, especially on days marking the start or the end of a holiday. In the north though, you'll sometimes find yourself wondering about whether you're on the right bus or not, simply because there are nobody else there.
Buses costs about the same as second class on trains.
Driving your own car, is a terrific way of seeing Tunisia, but it can be dangerous, sometimes because mad driving occurs, but mostly because two-wheelers often seem to have forgotten that there are other vehicles in this world. Travelling Tunisia by air can be done, but the time to get to the airport, through the controls, and repeating this over again after arrival, counts for some hours. And it's not very cheap either. Air flights inside Tunisia is primarily recommended if you have to connect to Tunis, when coming to, or leaving, Tunisia by air. All rights reserved.
