Get around
Travelling in Uselu is not that difficult. The roads are fairly well maintained and the city is well connected and networked. If you're arriving by plane, there's a taxi at the airport that's affordable and you can get anywhere. And when you arrive on the road and are taken to a transportation service terminal, you will also find a taxi that will take you everywhere.You can also book a Bolt that will take you to and fro. Taxi and bus should be painted red or burgundy on the body and yellow on the roof. You can also get a cab that is ridden mostly by men from the north called Aboki. However, there are some buses and taxis that do not follow this norm.

Most roads lead to the ring roads. Therefore, to get to some places, you actually have to take the ring road and take another bus or taxi to your destination. There is no standard bus stop in the city which makes it hard for bus drivers to stop passengers on the road. Therefore, if you are in a utility vehicle that arrives at your destination, you will usually warn the driver of a "stop" or "drop" and then stop. If you don't, the driver will always show you past your destination, so don't hesitate to say this.

In addition to buses and taxis, you can also travel around the city by motorbike or tricycle also known as keke. However, the state has a law prohibiting the transportation of commercial motorcycles from 7PM to 6AM but allow buses and taxi to ride since the roads have good solar lighting on the major roads
