Port Moresby - Post Report Question and Answers

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

No. Lots of robberies on the buses and women are often hassled. Taxis not recommended, unless you find a driver you can trust. - May 2019


Absolutely not. There is no public transportation. Privately owned PMVs are off limits, as are taxis. I think there are one or two approved car services. - Jun 2016


The Red Dot cabs from the airport that you hire inside the airport are safe and cheap (US$10). Some expat aid-workers and volunteers take local buses and they are cheap, but not considered safe if you have anything of value on you or are a female traveling alone. - Jun 2008
