By moto in Benin
The cheapest way to travel within a city or village is by motorcycle taxi (moto, zemidjan or zem). They are cheap and the drivers usually know the city well. An average ride costs between 100f CFA - 300f CFA, and they are easily recognizable by their matching colored shirts with their ID numbers on them. Prices must be discussed beforehand, and payment is made upon arrival. Remember the driver's ID number as you would a taxi driver's ID in New York City, just in case. Choose your driver carefully, drinking and driving in Benin is very common and moto drivers are sometimes involved in crime rings in major cities.
Motos have colors for different cities (for example):
Cotonou: yellow
Natitingou: green with yellow shoulders or light blue with yellow shoulders
Kandi: light blue with yellow shoulders
Parakou: yellow with green shoulders
Kérou: green with yellow shoulders
