Douala - Post Report Question and Answers
Are local buses, trams, trains or taxis safe and affordable?
Taxis are only safe when taken from a formal hotel taxi stand, identified by the hotel staff. Motorcycle taxis are not safe, and there are frequent accidents. Intercity deluxe buses are safe and cost about US$16.00 between Douala and Yaounde, about a 3 1/2 hour trip. A new local bus system will start soon in both Douala and Yaounde. - Jun 2006
