TRANSPORT IN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO ( KINSHASA)

kinshasa is a capital of democratic republic of congo The beginnings of week are the worst for public transit users.Workers, shopkeepers, students and others to point the bus stops from around 6: 00 in the morning to avoid being late.

At the round point Victoire including, car parks are located according to the destinations of taxis and buses. Some 50 people are waiting for a means of transportation or at '24' or Gombe along avenue Victoire. The signs of the hands to indicate the destination where drivers do not attract the attention of the driver at this time of the day, it goes where it should be. 'The beginnings of week are really difficult. It is a chance to find a taxi easily, says Patricia, a young employee of 20 years waiting for a taxi. To find his salvation, negotiates with the Chargers that they find him a place in one of few taxis that would point to the stop. She knows we need to indulge a moment at a Chase to find a place.

Without choice, one is obliged to wait for a vehicle that will come for sure. Everyone has his senses on alert. And this is very life-saving. It is locate in the distance a taxi or minibus, very quickly enter the cries of the charger or receiver indicating destination, or even to guess.A bus which offers a scary show. One bound, all those who wait take over the vehicle. That by the door, which by the window, where the bezel back, there are crowded on all sides. The caution is still, as it is also a favourable opportunity for pickpockets is to implement.The driver is King!

The driver and the receiver are often only decide the route to take. A few times, they can be influence by the Chargers. Times, destinations are chosen according to the importance of the traffic, the State of roads and the police presence. \When there is a traffic jam, we lose time and fuel, avoids police officers because they extort all the time drivers by inventing some typos, and then, I prefer to avoid the bad roads, is not always good for the maintenance of my car\, indicates the MANKA driver aboard his minibus.Calvary also continues the evening to return to the House for most. The situation appears to be improving during the school holidays. But for many, it is high time that the Government looks at its network of public transport almost non-existent and abandoned into the hands of individuals.(see more photos in 'News in pictures')

The last time I was at Kin, cad in March 2009, I was forced to take after a taxi bus, I was so pissed to wait, then sweat, then tighten me against people... that I promised myself never again! Not really the problem of transport at Kin is a wound!
