Editing Kabul (section)

===Public transport===
The [[taxicab]]s in Kabul were painted in a white and yellow livery. The majority of these were older model Toyota Corollas. A few Soviet-era Russian cabs were also still in operation.

Long-distance road journeys were made by private [[Mercedes-Benz buses|Mercedes-Benz coach buses]] or vans, trucks and cars. Although a nationwide bus service was available from Kabul, flying was safer, especially for foreigners. The city's public bus service ([[Milli Bus]] / "National Bus") was established in the 1960s to take [[commuters]] on daily routes to many destinations. The service had about 800 buses. The Kabul bus system had discovered a new source of revenue in whole-bus advertising from [[MTN Group|MTN]] similar to "bus wrap" advertising on public transit in more developed nations. There was also an express bus that runs from downtown to Hamid Karzai International Airport for [[Safi Airways]] passengers.

An electric [[trolleybus]] system operated in Kabul from February 1979 to 1992 using [[Škoda Works|Škoda]] fleet built by a [[Czechoslovakia|Czechoslovak]] company (see [[Trolleybuses in Kabul]] for more). The trolleybus service was highly popular mainly due to its low price compared to the Millie Bus conventional bus service. The last trolleybus came to a halt in late 1992 due to warfare – much of the [[copper]] [[Overhead line|overhead wires]] were later looted but a few of them, including the steel poles, can still be seen in Kabul today.<ref name="spvd.cz" /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://languages.oberlin.edu/blogs/relg270/catherine-lytle-from-gerbils-to-trolleybus/|title=Catherine Lytle: From Gerbils to Trolleybus|access-date=8 January 2017|archive-date=2 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200802213225/http://languages.oberlin.edu/blogs/relg270/catherine-lytle-from-gerbils-to-trolleybus/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In June 2017 Kabul Municipality unveiled plans for a [[Kabul bus rapid transit|new bus rapid transit]] system, the first major urban public transportation scheme. It was expected to open by 2018,<ref>{{cite web|title=Kabul Municipality Unveils First Metro Bus System|url=https://tolonews.com/business/kabul-municipality-unveils-first-metro-bus-system|website=TOLOnews|language=en|access-date=21 November 2019|archive-date=2 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190402171624/https://www.tolonews.com/business/kabul-municipality-unveils-first-metro-bus-system|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Kabul municipality unveils new developments in metro bus project|url=https://www.khaama.com/kabul-municipality-unveils-new-developments-in-metro-bus-project-03420/|website=The Khaama Press News Agency|date=12 September 2017|access-date=21 November 2019|archive-date=2 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190402223206/https://www.khaama.com/kabul-municipality-unveils-new-developments-in-metro-bus-project-03420/|url-status=live}}</ref> but its construction had been hampered. In March 2021, a new city bus service was launched in Kabul using American vehicles built by [[IC Bus]], and accompanied by newly built [[bus stop]]s throughout the city. Five buses entered service on one route which is expected to be expanded to a fleet of 200 buses on 16 different routes.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://ariananews.af/new-bus-service-for-kabul-city-launched/|title=New bus service for Kabul city launched|date=25 March 2021|access-date=24 July 2021|archive-date=24 July 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210724150035/https://ariananews.af/new-bus-service-for-kabul-city-launched/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://km.gov.af/6060/%D8%A8%D8%B3%D9%87%D8%A7%DB%8C-%D8%B4%D9%87%D8%B1%DB%8C-%D8%B4%D8%A7%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%84%DB%8C-%DA%A9%D8%A7%D8%A8%D9%84-%D8%AF%D8%B1-%D8%B3%D8%B7%D8%AD-%D8%B4%D9%87%D8%B1-%D8%A2%D8%BA%D8%A7%D8%B2-%D8%A8%D9%87-%D9%81%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%84%DB%8C%D8%AA-%DA%A9%D8%B1%D8%AF|title=Kabul Municipality – شاروالی کابل: بس&zwnj;های شهری شاروالی کابل در سطح شهر آغاز به فعالیت کرد!|publisher=Km.gov.af|date=|access-date=22 November 2021|archive-date=24 August 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210824222947/https://km.gov.af/6060/%D8%A8%D8%B3%D9%87%D8%A7%DB%8C-%D8%B4%D9%87%D8%B1%DB%8C-%D8%B4%D8%A7%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%84%DB%8C-%DA%A9%D8%A7%D8%A8%D9%84-%D8%AF%D8%B1-%D8%B3%D8%B7%D8%AD-%D8%B4%D9%87%D8%B1-%D8%A2%D8%BA%D8%A7%D8%B2-%D8%A8%D9%87-%D9%81%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%84%DB%8C%D8%AA-%DA%A9%D8%B1%D8%AF|url-status=live}}</ref>
