Transport in Mongolia

The transportation system in Mongolia consists of a network of railways, roads, waterways, and airports.

[2] For domestic transport, daily trains run from Ulaanbaatar to Darkhan, Sukhbaatar, and Erdenet, as well as Zamiin-Üüd, Choir and Sainshand.

The vast majority of Mongolia's official road network, some 40,000 km, are simple cross-country tracks.

[12] There is relatively developed bus transport between cities of Mongolia from minivans to large coach buses (usually up to 45 seats).

The national and municipal governments regulate a wide system of private transit providers which operate numerous bus lines around the city.

A typical fare is MNT 1,500 per kilometer; taxi drivers tend to ask for more especially if the client is a foreign national.

Official taxis with proper markings are allowed to drive without plate number restrictions on the first lane of Ulaanbaatar's central road usually reserved for large public transports such as buses and trolleybuses since October 2013.

Mongolia opened the new Chinggis Khaan International Airport (UBN) in July 2021, located about 50 km from the center of Ulaanbaatar.

Most airports of the 21 aimag centers of Mongolia have paved runways, but those closest to Ulaanbaatar lack scheduled air service.
