Sumatra
has a good road network and transportation system so you should face
few problems when travelling on the island. Buses tend to be the best
option for travel, although there is a useful railway line between
Bandar Lampung and Palembang. Cars, motorbikes and bicycles are all
readily available for hire from the larger towns and there are also
regular ferries from Sumatra to the surrounding islands.
