03.00 THE PRESENT SITUATION IN THE PROJECT AREA

03.06  Transport.

The kinds of transport available include bicycles, taxi motor bike and public service vehicles for easy communication to various destinations. The means chosen depends on the distance and where the person is going and the type of transport used. Bicycle taxis and motor bikes are the most characteristic means of transport in the area. They charge a minimum € 0.17 per kilometre. The wet seasons restrict the use of the bicycle taxis which used more during dry season. A vehicle costs passengers €0.34 per km. They tend to be used on the better roads, though some operate on bad roads as well.

The roads in the rural areas some are seasonal and murram roads.

During the wet seasons, most of the roads in the project area are impassable due to the mud etc. and people have to walk long distances. Pickup are also widely used for transportation. During the rainy seasons the transportation of farm produce becomes difficult if not impossible.
