Although Lebanon has an extensive and cheap public transport network, it is not easy to unravel their routes and timetables. There are many operating bus companies, such as the Lebanese Commuting Company (LCC) and OCFTC, all using a variety of buses. There are large coaches, average-sized minibuses (blue, red and white) and minivans.

To get on a bus, head for one of the bus stations or intersections, or wave one down like a taxi. Fares within the country range between 1,000 and 7,000 LBP and generally you pay upon boarding. It is advisable to check the applicable fair upfront as you will not be the first foreigner to pay more than required.
 
A detailed bus map of Beirut is still lacking, yet a private initiative called “The Bus Map Project” is working on one and even has a mobile application in process. On their Facebook page they also share a lot of useful information on bus routes and prices.
 
There is no public train transport in Lebanon.
