African Discussion ποΈ What's the most chaotic form of public transport you've ever used in Africa?
These taxis used to operate in Kigali city when I was still young. Going to my primary school I remember we all used to prefer the one with Chris Brown and Usher designs so we used to wait for them. Nowadays y'all visiting Kigali ain't gonna find these anywhere.π

For the fear factor it has to be boda bodas, the motorcycle taxis.
Either that or the Peugeot 504/ 505 wagons which used to be common on Kenyan long distance routes in the 90s.

Early 2000's when i was a kid I took an overloaded Tuk Tuk type thing with my mom in Cape Town in a crazy rain storm - never again. π
As an adult has to be the Metrorail in Cape town Like 10 years ago.
It's a lot better now but back then, sometimes you'd roll into the station and there would just be a train fully engulfed in flames while everyone just moves around it between platforms.
