Public Transport

In the Central Plateau the prices are soaring so much that the merchants must sit at their homes, because they can’t pay the price to transport their goods to another public market by vehicle. All the drivers in the plateau put their heads together to come up with one single price, no matter where they decide to go.

For a merchant who would like to go in the cabin of the truck, he must pay for himself and pay for his load separately.

We find 70% of commerce is carried on the merchant’s head or on an animal. There are people who walk twelve hours on foot to arrive at the market. The price of a vehicle changes all the time, rising or falling each week.
