Public Transport

If you haven’t driven through a South African taxi rank, and in this case one of a Friday afternoon, then do yourself a favour and try it just for the experience. Organised chaos, like so much ofAfrica I guess. South Africa’s public transport, even after a 2010 World Cup attempt to develop to more sustainable and enviro-friendly options, is based around millions of white mini bus taxis through out South Africa. A large proportion of these are government subsidised and promoted as a truly South Africa transport system. Any deviations from this as the main means of public transport are passionately protested by Taxi Association.
The job as a taxi driver is sought after and the driving styles are very unique. Aggressive driving is an understatement and courtesy often forgotten.
