2. Bus Lines in Ulaanbaatar

The bus lines mainly follow the central east-west axis of Ulaanbaatar and the inner and outer ring roads (baga toïrog, ix toïrog). Other lines connect the various suburbs in the north and east with major traffic junction points downtown of which the National Normal University (UBIS -- Ulsyn Bagshiïn Ix Surguul', also known as Pedagogical Institute UBDS -- Ulsyn Bagshiïn Dääd Surguul' --- near the Ulaanbaatar Hotel) are important for commuters going north, and the Officers' Palace (Officeruudyn Ordon) in the east (near the Ministry of Defense) is important for commuters travelling to Shar Xad and Amgalan.
