Transport System in Cameroon
Urban Transport
The primary means of transportation in the cities are taxis and motorcycle taxis, known as “Benskin.” However, Yango, a taxi hire service, has recently joined the urban transport system.
Taxis can be hired individually or in groups for about 2,500 FCFA to 3,500 CFA per trip. Nevertheless, most small cities are just equipped with Mototaxis as transportation.
Buses, trains, and airplanes are only used in long-distance, regional transport.
