CAR & TAXI
Essentially anyone with a car is a taxi. Oicial
taxis, marked by the checkerboard symbol, are
the most reliable. Decent quality taxis include
Super Taxi

short ride in the city costs around 100som, more
at night.
There are usually plenty of cars waiting out-
side nightclubs and popular meeting spots such
as
