There is no subway or train system in Cyprus so public transport is limited to bus services, taxis, and 'Shared' taxi services that are locally known as service taxis and much less expensive than a private taxi.
Private car ownership is the 5th highest per capita in the world. Traffic moves on the left hand-side of the road, not on the right.However in 2006 extensive plans were announced to expand and improve bus services and restructure public transport throughout Cyprus which is well underway.
The main harbours are in Limassol and Larnaca that service cargo, passenger, and cruise ships.
There are two international airports, one in Paphos and a larger one in Larnaca - both airports in Cyprus have been recently renovated and modernised (in 2009).
