While taxis are the way to get around if you are going 2-5 kilometres, for shorter distances people travel by bike. There are several at every corner usually chinese machines anout 200cc and you just hop on the back and get taken to exactly where you want to go for 100 francs (about 25cents). We volunteers are advised not to take them as they are not really safe. But today I had to go to several parts of town so decided to try it. It was fun and very easy. They don't go too fast as the traffic is so congested, they can't get any speed up. At least none of my drivers were carrying propane tanks like the guy in the picture. This is a true private sector transit system that works!
