Buses!

The predominant mode of transport for most people in Monrovia seems to be taxis. Taxis proliferate, particularly along the strip from UN Drive and Tubman Boulevard. But more recently, buses have been introduced, many donated from Spain.

I've been told a bus ride costs 15 Liberian dollars - about 25 cents US. The only problem is that there aren't very many buses, so you can wait for a while to catch a bus. And even when one comes, it may be too full to take you.

Monrovia is a relatively small town, but transport is a huge problem. It can take ages to go just a few kilometres. And sometimes, it takes hours for people to get to work. Partly, it's that the roads need a lot of fixing - there are a lot of roads with many a pothole, and partly it's a lack of reliable public transport. So far, I've stuck with taxis. I haven't tried the buses yet (or the motorcycle taxis), but maybe one day I will take a loop.
