Maputo's Public Transport

Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, has a population of around 1,100,000 inhabitants. The city is saturated with road transport and pollution where most residents do not have the opportunity to buy their own car and use public transportation to get around the capital.

State buses, taxis driven by companies or individuals and small plates called taxi vans. For each means of transport, the user tries to find its place squeezing inside. I

This overcrowding is clearly evident, there are only 12 seats in the back and 2 more on the front, but they can fill up to 30 people.
The price range is from 5 to 7.5 Mozambican Metical (0.16 €) but can be 3 times that depending on the distance from the destination.
