MinibusIt's everywhere, it's cheap, and if it's full, it's fast. The one-way fare is generally US$0.50 (approximately US$0.50). Most routes go to and from the 4 main bus stations in the city center, although a few routes or shortcuts are even more true, especially during peak hours, where riders can reach almost anywhere in the city. Getting into the city is easy, and it's best to ask the driver where he is going when you are away. The route and destination are not posted on the vehicle itself, but if there is a minibus carrying passengers, the conductor may shout the destination through the window. Minibuses may also run at night, but please pay attention to your own safety.
taxiIt may be a better choice for tourists who have just arrived. The taxi has two colors-sky blue and light gray, usually Toyota Corolla. Taxis in Zambia do not have a meter, so the price can be negotiated, but it is always high for locals. Be sure to negotiate the price before getting in the taxi. For example, 2 dollars for a short trip is a reasonable price. (Before you leave, you can ask how much your trip should cost. If the taxi driver says a higher price, please say that you are more willing to take a minibus and pay attention to bargaining space.)

Safety
Lusaka seems to have a bad reputation as a crime-ridden city, but in fact, this is exaggerated-other African cities such as Nairobi, Johannesburg, and Lagos are much more at risk. However, travelers should understand that it is foolish to walk around the city at night. If you put your valuables in a prominent place, you will become the target of pickpockets. HIV/AIDS is an epidemic here, so if you have sex while visiting Lusaka, be sure to use condoms and take other appropriate precautions
