In Yaounde, the capital city of Cameroon, there are 6 places for passengers in a tiny car. 2 in the passenger seat and 4 in the backseat. If you want to take a taxi, you stand on the street. Each time a taxi with an available seat comes by, you shout through the window where you want to go. If they are willing to take you, they honk the horn and you get in. If they are not already going in that direction (because of the other people) then they just keep going. So sometimes it takes 5 or 10 minutes shouting into taxis to find someone going in your direction. The driver, unless there is 6 people in the car besides him, is constantly driving on the side of the road looking for other passengers. You pay usually 200 francs (50 cents).
