Mobility and transportation in Luanda, Angola is currently inefficient with an overburdened road network and insufficient public transportation options. [The document outlines] the current issues including a lack of infrastructure, regulation enforcement, and parking. Ongoing projects aim to rehabilitate roads, increase parking, and improve public transportation through more buses and trains. Future plans include expanding the railway system and creating a transportation master plan to better integrate modes of transport.
