Transport

Travellers visiting Antananarivo will find themselves getting around mostly by foot. There is however an affordable and efficient mini-bus service, known as 'taxi be', that runs regularly throughout the city. The fares are usually at least half the price of a regular taxi, but since most tourists are not familiar with the routes and aren't comfortable being packed into a 'taxi be' like a tin of sardines, regular taxis are the preferred method of transport for travellers. Be sure to negotiate the fare with the driver before entering the taxi. Car rental agencies can be found throughout Antananarivo for visitors wanting to explore the city in their own time.
