Public Transport

Public Transport

Although public buses do run in Windhoek, the easier way to get around is by means of either a shared or private taxi. Shared taxis are used widely by locals, and can be flagged down anywhere along Independence Avenue (it's easiest to get one by the Gustav Voigts Centre in Independence Avenue, known as Windhoek's unofficial transportation hub). Announce your destination to the driver, who will let you know whether it lies en route — you might have to catch the next one otherwise. Prices depend on how far out your destination lies, but are extremely affordable either way.
