I found this transport map on BBC.com when I was doing some research on our country. We live in the Northwest Region in the major commercial center of Gemena. Astounding.
Inside DR Congo
Despite the country's size, transport infrastructure is very poor. Of 153,497km of roads, only 2,794km are paved. There are around 4,000 km of railways but much is narrow-gauge track and in poor condition. Waterways are vital to transport goods but journeys can take months to complete. Overcrowded boats frequently capsize, while DR Congo has more plane crashes than any other country.
