Transportation in Myanmar
Look back to the last several years in Myanmar, the airline has not been developed. Locals go by bus because they did not have much money to buy a motorbike or car. People even show a reckless disregard for their own safety by swinging or catching the rear of the car during peak hours. In addition, airport facilities are not entirely completed together with the restricted conveniences. However, now all of these nuisances have changed.
People now still travel by bus, but not much like in the past. They are able to afford their own car. Motorbikes can be seen just only in a few rural areas. Moreover, the transport infrastructure has been enhanced. Highways appear more and more, taking places of numerous rough roads. Some airports are being expanded for the rise of foreign flights, especially the Yangon international airport.
