Need a ride?
I highly discourage using public transportation to travel across Addis Abeba. Instead you can use the countless taxi available around the city.
If you want to avoid being scammed by a taxi, just ask your hotel to book one for you. Alternatively, you can use the app RIDE (is the Ethiopian version of Uber)
You can pay with cash but also with a registered credi card.
