In general, fares are exceedingly cheap. Services are provided to the north of the country from Damascus, but these are irregular and there are no sleeping or restaurant cars except in the through train to Turkey. Some air-conditioned accommodation is available. There is also a connection from Haleb to the Lebanese border. Second-class roads are unreliable during the wet season.
Traffic drives on the right.
Services run from Damascus and Aleppo to most towns and are cheap and efficient. Reservations should be made well in advance. Karnak bus routes serve their own terminals, which are usually in or near the city centres. There are also privately run bus and microbus services which started recently all over Syria. Shared taxis are available to all parts of the country.
