Getting around
Much the most convenient way of getting around the island is by car; there are rental offices in all the major towns, though a decent network of public transport covers most localities. There is an island-wide bus service run by ARST, while FdS and FMS are concentrated in specific areas and FdS additionally covers the longer hauls between towns. Trains connect the major towns of Cágliari, Oristano, Sássari and Olbia, while smaller narrow-gauge FdS lines link Nuoro and Alghero with the main network. From mid-June to mid-September, the FdS-run Trenino Verde steam trains (
