Transportation in Brazzaville

Brazzaville moves on shared taxis and motorcycle taxis, the green-and-white taxis cram four passengers and follow loose routes for pocket-change fares, while moto-taxis weave through traffic for about half the price and twice the speed. For comfort, private taxis can be hailed on the street or booked via local apps like Yango. Agree the fare before you set off, as meters are rare. There is no formal bus network, so visitors usually stick to taxis for reliability. From Maya-Maya Airport, the quickest option is a pre-paid taxi from the official rank outside arrivals, it's a splurge compared with street taxis but spares you the haggle after a long flight. Ignore the freelance drivers who swarm the exit. They routinely quote double. If you're traveling light and adventurous, a moto-taxi will get you to the city center for a fraction of the cost. But insist on a helmet and settle the price before you climb on.
