Transportation in Aizawl is heavily reliant on roadways. The city is connected to the rest of India via National Highway 54 (NH-54), which runs to Silchar in Assam.
* **Roadways:** Navigating Aizawl involves driving on steep, winding, and narrow roads. The city is famous for its strict lane discipline and a voluntary ban on honking. * **Public Transit:** Local transport is facilitated by a network of private and government-run city buses, yellow-and-white local taxis, and shared maxi-cabs. * **Airways:** Lengpui Airport, located about 32 km from the city center, provides regular domestic flights to Kolkata, Guwahati, and New Delhi. * **Railways:** Currently, Mizoram’s railhead is at Bairabi, but a major broad-gauge railway extension project to Sairang (just 20 km from Aizawl) is nearing completion, which will drastically improve connectivity.
