VOICED: Motorcycle taxis keep Kinshasa on the move

Motorbike taxis in Kinshasa provide employment for young riders, many of whom learn to ride on the streets. In a city with limited public transport, these bikes are crucial for reaching areas inaccessible to taxis and buses. Riders can earn up to $1000 monthly, leading to a rapid increase in motorbike taxis. However, many operate without licenses or helmets, facing legal challenges. Despite this, motorbikes offer a vital escape from unemployment and violence in the city.
