Public Transport

Public transport in Kathmandu can be confusing, as there are no proper signboards. However, buses have a cashier or attendant who can let travellers know where the bus goes and let them know when they have arrived at their destination. Buses are usually quite old and not very comfortable, but travelling with the locals can be very pleasant, and they are always very friendly and helpful. Blue and green buses go in circles along the Ring Road.
