Bus / Coach
Taking the bus is a safe and comfortable way to travel. There are different companies where you can make a reservation for your coach journey. If you intend to make several long journeys by coach, you can buy a bus-pass. You can find more information on the following websites:

For short distances, between smaller rural areas or in a city, your only options are taking a taxi or minibus taxi. The latter is a cheap way to get to know the country and its people, but it does have some downsides. Bad maintenance, bad drivers and pick pockets make travelling by minibus taxi slightly dangerous.
