How To Reach Mauritius

The most common way to reach Mauritius is to fly into the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU). The airport is located on the island of Mauritius and is the largest airport in the country. The airport is serviced by several major airlines, including Air France, Emirates, British Airways, and South African Airways.

Another option is to fly into the Plaisance Airport (PTP) on the island of Rodrigues. The airport is serviced by Air Mauritius and is a smaller airport.

Public transport in Mauritius is mainly composed of buses and taxis. There is also a train service, but it is not very popular.

 

Buses are the most common form of public transport. They are operated by the state-owned company, "National Transport Corporation" (NTC). There are different types of buses, depending on the route. The most common type is the "mini-bus". These buses are usually overcrowded, and can be quite uncomfortable.

 

Taxis are also very common. They are privately owned, and can be quite expensive. There are both "metered" and "unmetered" taxis. The metered taxis use a meter to calculate the fare, while the unmetered taxis usually have a set fare for certain destinations.

The train service is not very popular, because the stations are located quite far from the city centres.
