Public transportation is the main means of transport in Swaziland. Car ownership is low, at 32 cars per 1,000 people. Most taxis in Swaziland are actually minibuses known as kombi taxis, which typically travel faster than and charge higher fares than buses. Passengers can hop directly on and off kombi taxis, but drivers do not deviate from their fixed routes. Some kombi taxis travel non-stop between Manzini and Mbabane. Bus travel in Swaziland can be unreliable and overcrowded, but is the easiest way for tourists to interact with locals and travel to otherwise inaccessible corners of the country. There are a number of privately-owned Swazi bus operators, and buses stop at virtually every Swazi town. Manzini and Mbabane boast the country’s two biggest bus stations. Visitors must obtain bus timetables from locals as there are no formal bus schedules. Many Swazi minibuses use local bus stations as departure points.
