Juba - Post Report Question and Answers

Are local buses, trams, trains or taxis safe and affordable?

I'm sure they are unsafe, but we are only allowed to travel in motor pool vehicles. - Mar 2023


There are no trains and few local buses, but they are not safe, and embassy staff are prohibited from taking them. I have heard that attacks on long-distance buses, frequently ending in death, are commonplace. Local flights also seem to have a poor safety record; two fatal crashes occurred in my first month at post, for example. Embassy staff use Motorpool almost exclusively. - Sep 2020
