Travel - Internal Air Guinee Airlines operates internal services to some of the main towns, such as Bok, Conakry, Lab, Kankan, Kissidougou, Macenta, Nzrkor and Siguiri. Schedules are erratic. Rail Despite the existence of rail lines and plans to upgrade them, there are currently no rail services in Guinea. Road Many roads are in poor condition and the minor roads are often overgrown with bush. Travel by road is often impossible in the rainy season (May-Oct). The roads between Conakry (via Kindia) and Kissidougou and from Bok to Kamsar are both paved, as is the road to Freetown. Traffic drives on the right. In an effort to counter urban crime, the Guinean Government maintains roadblocks from 0000-0600. Bus: The government bus company, SOGETRAG, operates services from Conakry to most other towns. The buses are fairly comfortable and good value. Taxi: These are available, although fares should be negotiated in advance. Bush taxis usually cover smaller distances than buses and can take up to seven passengers. Urban Buses and taxis operate cheaply within Conakry. It is not usual to tip taxi drivers. |
