Rail transport in Mongolia is an important means of travel in the landlocked nation with few paved roads. According to official statistics, rail transport carried 93% of Mongolian freight and 43% of passenger turnover in 2007.〔Freight and passenger turnover in tons *km and passenger *km, respectively. 2007 Statistical Yearbook of Mongolia, p. 252〕 The Mongolian rail system employs 12,500 people.〔 The national operator is UBTZ (Ulaanbataar Railway, (モンゴル語:Улаанбаатар төмөр зам)), traditionally also known as Mongolian Railway (MTZ, (モンゴル語:Монголын төмөр зам)).
