Leo, let's discuss transportation infrastructure and convenience in Ethiopia and Uganda.
Sounds interesting. Ethiopia and Uganda present unique challenges, I imagine.
Indeed. I hear Ethiopia is improving public transport, particularly in Addis Ababa, with a new light rail system.
"Improving" is relative. The Addis Ababa light rail is efficient when it's not overcrowded.
Outside Addis Ababa, it's mostly buses, long-distance journeys that sound adventurous.
"Adventurous" is an understatement. Imagine a bus ride where suspension is optional, and stops are determined by passenger volume and vocal ability.
And Uganda? I envision many bodabodas, those motorbike taxis.
Bodabodas are ubiquitous. A thrilling, if somewhat risky, mode of transport. A helmet is advisable.
What about public transport for the masses in Uganda? Shared taxis, perhaps?
Matatus are the mainstays—brightly painted minibuses with a flexible schedule and minimal personal space.
Road quality must be a factor in both countries.
It's highly variable. Expect paved roads punctuated by sudden off-road sections.
Air travel is an option, right?
Yes, both countries have international airports. However, internal flights can be unpredictable.
For tourists, is getting around easy or challenging?
Challenging, but rewarding. It's not always punctual or comfortable, but it's memorable.
