Minibuses ? meaning vans outfitted with seats ? are popular, but they are often irregular, dangerous, and uncomfortable. To maximize profits, a "conductor" will squeeze as many paying customers ? and their luggage, or katundu (ka-TOON-doo) ? into the bus as possible; whether or not the customers are comfortable is irrelevant. In terms of meeting locals, however, this method is among the best, and it can provide a traveler with a truly "authentic" experience. Payment is made during the journey ? banknotes are passed down the bus to the conductor at the front, and change comes back via the same route.
