Transportation in Ivory Coast

Visitors will find a mix of transport modes including taxis, shared minibuses (known locally as "gbakas"), and intercity buses connecting major cities.

For intercity travel, several bus companies operate routes between major destinations, though schedules and service quality can vary. **Airport Transfer Tip:** From Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport in Abidjan, taxis are the primary option for reaching the city center.
