Bobo-Dioulasso

Taxis
During day hours should charge 200cfa – no more. 300 cfa if you are going really really far. At night 300cfa is what you should pay to go anywhere. Wee wee morning hours – prices mount but should NEVER surpass 500cfa. If you have a heavy travelers bags or a bike expect to pay another 100 or 200cfa. Try never to take a taxi out of a gare – better to walk a block and get someone who won’t try to milk you for a tourist.

You are, however, at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to negoatiation if you are Caucasian, and lets be honest - if you can offord to get to Burkina Faso 500cfa is hardly bank breaking!
