They travel on set routes. The standard fare is 150F CFA and 180F CFA or more at night, depending on how far you go. You hail a taxi and name your destination. You can offer 200 CFA to persuade a driver to go your way, or pay 1,000 CFA to have a taxi to yourself during the day, or 2,000 F CFA which is preferable at night.
Taxis are difficult to find at certain places, at certain times of day, and at night.

They are generally slow, stopping at many rural stations. Most principal towns are linked by air services. Over bookings are common.
