The railways of Tunisia is far more accurate than most people would expect, but once in a while delays of hours occur. The standard is good, and there is no better way of travelling in Tunisia than in first class on these trains. But even lower classes are quite good, and most foreign travellers go for second class. Tunisians in trains are very open and friendly, and this is a place where the chances of meeting hustlers are microscopic. At dedicated places in a city, several cars are lined up.
Chauffeurs shout out the destination of their car, and people entering the area enter the right car.
As soon as one taxi is full, it drives off, and it doesn't stop en route before it has reached its destination. Shared taxis, louages are always white, and the ones doing longer trips have a red stripe, while the shorter trips are indicated by a blue one. Shared taxis start their working day at 4 in the morning, but after 18.00 getting a seat in one becomes a problem. Shared taxis between town centres and suburbs, and between neighbouring towns come in different shapes, but often yellow town-taxis are used as shared taxis. These will take three or four passengers, before they drive off.
