Motos are the preferred mode of transportation for nearly all Rwandans due to their convenience (they are everywhere), cheapness (about a $1 to get just about anywhere you'd need to go), and speed (weaving in and out of traffic jams). Taxis, on the other hand, are inconvenient (very few of them), expensive ($10-13 for the same distance as the moto), and prone to traffic jams. But they're safer. We've already witnessed several horrendous moto accidents and are continuously observing close calls. And so, we are a taxi family when we can't find a friends' car to borrow.
Wendy rarely takes motos when heading out into the villages but she scouted out an area she frequents, which she deemed safe since the motos are forced to go slow due to rough paths, and we took our first family moto ride. Hope you enjoy this Brother Alliance movie!
