Train
The Malagasy rail system, known as the Réseau National des Chemins de Fer Malgaches
(RNCFM), is made up of over 1000km of tracks but is used mostly by freight transport.
The only regular passenger train routes are highlighted in the train journeys table. There
is momentum to increase passenger rail travel, so check whether new lines have been
opened, notably to/from Tana.
