Transportation:, Benin

Displayed:   times.

Within all large cities, towns, and some villages, you'll find motorcycle-taxis called "zemidjans." You'll recognize the drivers by their colored shirts (yellow in Cotonou, purple in Porto Novo, etc.). These are by far the fastest, most convenient, cheapest way to travel from place to place within a city, or between neighboring cities and towns. The quality of drivers and motorbikes, however, varies greatly, and breakdowns are not uncommon. Be sure to discuss price with your driver before getting on the bike. Travel within Cotonou, for example can range from 100-200 CFA to get from one part of the city to another; the fares increase after dark.
