Question

Types of transportation in Africa!!!!!!!!?

Answer 1

You can travel many ways. By walking, using a plane, Taking a bus, driving, Riding a taxi or motocycle. I think you can also get a boat ride.

Answer 2

I'd start listing them by listing all the transpiration forms in your country:  car, taxi, bus, limousine, train, plane, bike, skateboard, moped,  walking, etc.  To your list add caravan (with camels for the Sahara), river boats (for the Nile and other rivers).  It's probably safe to assume they don't have any/many snowmobiles.  The transporation systems are similar--it's just the form in that the bus may have 30 people in it and stacked full of food and things (yes chickens, goats, etc.) going to market on the roof, the taxi may be shared which means the driver picks you up and you tell him where you want to go, then he asks people looking for taxis where they are going and if it's in the same general direction, you have company so it may not be from point A to point B.

Answer 3

Looks like you're the person going to Ghana, so I'll answer based on my experiences there (I've been there twice).

1. Car (personal and taxi)

2. Train

3. Bus (I was last there in 2000, but Ghana's bus system was reliable and well-maintained at that time. Called STC or something, I think)

4. Bike, including bike taxis

5. Airplane

6. Tro-Tro - this is fairly unfamiliar to Americans or those who haven't traveled in a developing country, but something like this exists all over the developing world, as far as I can tell. A trotro (sp?) is a minivan bus that stops pretty much wherever anyone along the road is and will take you where you want to go. They have set routes and fares, like other buses, but are the size of minivans and are crammed with more people than you would think would fit in a minivan.

Answer 4

we mainly travel via horse and cart or get our slaves to pull our carriages for us. oh and our kids drive donkey carts

Answer 5

taxis (private cars turned into transport persons from here to there) Matawtos(public "bus") squeeze as many people in a minivan as possible. (no I'm notkidding) or hire a private care

with personal driver. ( past experiances based on being overseas for off and on for seven years, mostly in Kenya, Tanzania,  Zanzibar, and Nigeria.
