In African cities, improving public transportation is a big challenge. Some progress is being made to create safer and more organized systems. To meet the growing transportation needs, cities should plan ahead and integrate transportation early on. This can help limit urban sprawl and make cities more compact. It's important to consider all types of transportation users, especially pedestrians. By creating a mix of different transportation options, cities can better meet the needs of their residents. Strong authorities can help regulate the transportation sector while still allowing operators some freedom to run their businesses.
