===Railway===
Luanda is the starting point of the [[Luanda railway]] that goes due east to Malanje. The [[Angolan Civil War|civil war]] left the railway non-functional, but the railway has been restored up to [[Dondo, Angola|Dondo]] and [[Malanje]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.chinainternationalfund.com/projects1.asp?Id=284 |title=China International Fund Limited |publisher=Chinainternationalfund.com |access-date=2010-06-28 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090618030958/http://www.chinainternationalfund.com/projects1.asp?Id=284 |archive-date=2009-06-18 }}</ref>

[[File:NAIL Airside View of Terminal.jpg|thumb|right|[[Angola International Airport]], Luanda]]
The main airport of Luanda was [[Quatro de Fevereiro Airport]], which is still the largest in the country. A new [[international airport]], [[Angola International Airport]] was constructed southeast of the city, a few kilometres from [[Viana, Angola|Viana]], and was expected to be opened in 2011.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.chinainternationalfund.com/projects1.asp?Id=283 |title=China International Fund Limited |publisher=Chinainternationalfund.com |access-date=2010-06-28 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090618232803/http://www.chinainternationalfund.com/projects1.asp?Id=283 |archive-date=2009-06-18 }}</ref> However, as the Angolan government did not continue to make the payments due to the Chinese enterprise in charge of the construction, the firm suspended its work in 2010. The airport finally opened in November 2023. The new airport will gradually replace the old airport.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2022-06-17 |title=Angola Delays Opening of $5 Billion Airport for the Fourth Time |language=en |work=Bloomberg.com |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-06-17/angola-delays-opening-of-5-billion-airport-for-the-fourth-time |access-date=2022-12-04 |archive-date=2023-02-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230220084400/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-06-17/angola-delays-opening-of-5-billion-airport-for-the-fourth-time |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Orban |first1=André |title=New Luanda International Airport opens in Angola after long delay |url=https://www.aviation24.be/airports/luanda-airport-lad/new-luanda-international-airport-opens-in-angola-after-long-delay/ |publisher=Aviation24 |access-date=22 July 2024 |date=10 November 2023}}</ref>

===Road transport===
Luanda's roads are in a poor state of repair, but are undergoing an extensive reconstruction process by the government in order to relieve [[traffic]] congestion in the city. Major road repairs can be found taking place in nearly every neighbourhood, including a major 6-lane [[highway]] connected Luanda to [[Viana, Angola|Viana]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://allafrica.com/stories/200808180008.html |title=Angola: Part of Luanda's Highway Complete By December |publisher=allAfrica.com |date=2008-08-15 |access-date=2010-06-28 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091004173236/http://allafrica.com/stories/200808180008.html |archive-date=2009-10-04 }}</ref>

===Public transport===
Public transit is provided by the suburban services of the [[Luanda Railway]], by the public company [[Transporte Colectivo Urbano de Luanda|TCUL]], and by a large fleet of privately owned collective taxis as white-blue painted minibuses called ''Candongueiro''. Candongueiros are usually [[Toyota Hiace]] vans, that are built to carry 12 people, although the candongueiros usually carry at least 15 people. They charge from 100 to 200 kwanzas per trip. They are known to disobey traffic rules, for example not stopping at signs and driving over pavements and aisles.

In 2019, the [[Luanda Light Rail]] network with an estimated cost of [[U.S. dollar|US $]]3 billion was announced to begin construction in 2020.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://macauhub.com.mo/en/2019/11/06/pt-metro-de-superficie-de-luanda-vai-custar-3000-milhoes-de-dolares/|title=Luanda surface light rail system will cost US$3 billion – Macauhub|website=Macauhub|date=6 November 2019|access-date=6 November 2019}}{{Dead link|date=November 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
