As in most South African cities, Durban has a limited public transport system. Buses operate in the city center and the suburbs, though schedules are erratic. Metered taxis are available, although most common is the minibus taxi. These are less expensive but tend to be more dangerous as drivers rarely pay attention to road rules. Minibus taxis should only be caught on regular routes at busy hours and passengers should not enter an empty minibus. Colorful hand drawn rickshaws are a common sight on the Durban beachfront and are more for tourists than for getting around. They are well worth the experience, however. There a number of car rental agencies available and the city is relatively easy to negotiate, though can be very congested during morning and evening rush hour.
