The road system connects all towns and villages and includes a coast road, a panoramic road, and a regional road, which connects Msida to the coast road via St. Andrews. Bus services radiating from Valletta provide inexpensive and frequent internal transportation. Taxis are abundant, and most families have a private automobile. There is no railway. Several daily sailings connect Malta and Gozo, and, in addition to a regular ferry and car-ferry service, Malta and Sicily are connected by fast commercial catamarans. Scheduled airlines, including the national airline (Air Malta, based at Luqa Airport), connect Malta with most European capitals as well as with Africa, especially North Africa, and the Middle East.
