Organize your stay au Myanmar - Birmanie

From the airport to the city centre From the airport to the city centre au Myanmar - Birmanie

By taxi. The easiest option to reach the city centre is to take a taxi. A counter offers prepaid taxis after you have picked up your luggage and cleared customs. The fare is 9,000 kyats for tourists to the city centre. Otherwise, simply exit the terminal and you will be boarded. You will pay roughly the same price, with perhaps a little more negotiation

By bus. If you are on a tight budget and like adventure, you can also get out of the airport compound, go to the 10 mile market which is about a kilometre south of the airport, pick-up trucks will take you there for 100 K if you don't want to walk. From here you take bus 51 to Sule Pagoda. It will cost you 300 K and the journey takes about an hour

Public transport Public transport au Myanmar - Birmanie

The train around Yangon. Yangon is surrounded by a railway line, called "circular line", the only rail transport in the city. Trains run every hour between 4am and 10pm every day, and stop at all 39 stations in the city. This is equivalent to a total journey time of 3 hours. Count 300 K for one trip.

The bus. Here, you won't take the bus so much to get around the city, but to get out of it, to reach your next destination. Bus companies are legion in the country, of all comforts and levels. A simple visit to the bus station in Yangon, with its cheerful disorder and piles of buses, will convince you of the diversity of the offer. For the choice of the company, we strongly advise you to let yourself be guided by your hotel or by a local generalist agency, rather than calling the companies

Which companies? The companies JJ express and Famous Travelers are quite correct, comfortable even. You can choose the VIP bus option for a few kyats, the seats are wider. Small meal tray, a reclining seat, screen, air-conditioning, sometimes capricious, so bring a little wool. There are no toilets in the buses, the driver stops about every three hours to take a break

NB: In Yangon, the main bus stations are very far from the city centre and not all companies offer shuttles. Count at least two hours in rush hour to get there, making sure you don't miss your bus. The Aung Mingalar station, the largest, serves most destinations north and east of Yangon. Hlaing Thar Yar station covers the delta region. To get to each of these stations by taxi, and 7,000 to 8,000 K

With a driver With a driver au Myanmar - Birmanie

Taxis, of which there are many, are an economical solution as long as the city is not too congested. They are indicated by a small sign on the roof, and can be easily hailed in the street. No need to make a reservation. Again, the race must be negotiated before the start and should not exceed, from daytime 2,000 K in the city centre, 3,000 K to get from the city centre to the Shwedagon, and up to 4,000 K in the Lake Inya area. At night, fares are higher because there are fewer taxis and more frequent police checks, making it more risky for taxis. From 11pm to midnight, it becomes very difficult to find a taxi in the city. The curfew is a thing of the past, but the Burmese have remained early sleepers and the controls are still a deterrent

Trishaw. We can only encourage travelers to take this mode of locomotion on a human scale, which is also very practical, alone or in pairs. In Yangon, trishaws are becoming increasingly rare, overwhelmed as they are by the flood of cars. There are many more in Inle, Mandalay or Bagan... They are still found around the Shwedagon pagoda and near the Yangon River on the Strand Road. Chances are their presence will not last forever. The race must be negotiated at the start with the driver, about 500 K for a short distance. Count 1,500 to 2,000 K to go from Strand Road to the Sakura Tower.

"Grab". The application to download absolutely for his taxi trips in the big cities. Same system as the Uber application: a fair price, no need for small cuts, no more panic if you don't see a taxi on the horizon, and with GPS no misunderstanding about the destination, normally. You can even choose between a car or a trishaw when there is a choice.

By car By car au Myanmar - Birmanie

The road quality is good in Yangon, and two-wheelers are prohibited in downtown Yangon. However car rental is not recommended in Myanmar. Opt for the taxi if you need to travel by car

Motorcycles are forbidden in downtown Yangon, for security reasons or fear of terrorism, the reasons are not clear. Result: it makes the traffic more fluid, sometimes congested, and you don't risk getting run over every time you cross the street. On the other hand, you can't rent a two-wheeler to visit the city, and that's a shame. In other cities, two-wheelers are allowed. There are many electric scooters, which can be rented more and more easily, especially in Bagan. For those who do not want to drive, there are many motorcycle taxis.

Accessibility Accessibility au Myanmar - Birmanie

If there is nothing more pleasant than strolling around Yangon, the city is unfortunately not at all accessible to everyone. The city centre is quite passable on foot, if one is vigilant, but it is difficult to imagine a wheelchair for example. Sidewalks and cars are in fact the two enemies of the distracted pedestrian: the former, poorly maintained, have surprising gradients and ruts, while the latter seem to place very little value on human life
