Tunis is served by the [[Tunis-Carthage International Airport]]. The growing metropolitan area is served by an extensive network of public transportation including buses, an above-ground light rail system (le Metro), as well a regional train line (the [[Tunis-Goulette-Marsa|TGM]]) that links the city centre to its closest northern suburbs. Multi-lane autoroutes surround the city and serve the increasing number of privately owned cars one encounters in Tunisia.
