'Mode': AROUND
Category: Bus
Getting TO/AROUND: Car rental economical, it offers you independence and allows the use of a vehicle 24 hours a day.
Taxis can be taken for definite distances or for a day or a half-day trip.
Three categories of public transportation co-exist in Lebanon: Buses, mini-buses and "services" (Lebanese name for collective taxis).
While buses have definite bus stops, mini-buses and "services" do not. Either way, just let the driver know that you want to get in by making him a sign.

Service: 1000-2000 LBP (in town); 5000-8000 LBP (between towns)
Bus/Minibus: 500 LBP (in town); 2000-3000 LBP (between towns)

To the Beqaa Valley: Hazmieh, "Sayyad" roundabout.
To Sidon and Tyre: Cola bus station, Beirut.
To Tripoli and Syria: Charles Helou Bus Station (facing Beirut Port).

In Lebanon there is no railway!
