Taxis
Taxis in Libya are interesting. They are either minibuses that travel round a predefined route or black and white cars dead pandas with taxi signs. Stick with the cars... Taxi travel is very cheap, but the vehicles are generally in a bad state of repair. Try to sit in the back as the journeys can be somewhat exciting when in the passenger seat, when drivers tend to turn across traffic lanes. Judging by the number of dents on the sides of the cars, the drivers do not always make this maneuver successfully.
Taxi vehicles often lack parts that we, in the West, tend to take for granted -- such as indicators, headlights, bumpers, working brakes, and wheel nuts.
The taxi drivers are like most European taxi drivers. They enjoy sharing their opinions with you, even if you can't understand them - but, as with most of the people in Benghazi, they are friendly, and they do try to make you feel welcome.
