Very few people in The Gambia own their own cars - just as well that the public transport system is affordable and efficient.
If you want to get around in Banjul you have two options. You can take the yellow and green taxis or the gelli gellis both of which act more like buses. The taxis cruise up and down the main roads picking up and dropping off passengers as they go. You can hail a taxi at any point and your journey will cost about 5 delasi ( around 10p) . You can share your journey with up to four other people.
The gelli gellis run the same kind of system but cover longer journeys. These are Volkswagen campers or similar with a selection of bench type seats fixed into the back - room for about 12 people. Both are quick and cheap. Cool ehh???
