A local means of leisurely transport is the colourful, man-pulled rickshaw — an integral part of the local culture as much as a convenient way of getting around. The Durban People Mover shuttle offers a convenient way to explore the city. Operating on several routes, from uShaka Marine World to Suncoast Casino, it has multiple stops downtown and runs from early morning until 10pm daily. Tickets are available for purchase onboard and may include options like single-use or day passes. The Mynah bus service extends to various residential areas and stops at multiple locations outside the downtown area, including North and South Beaches, Botanic Gardens, and Kensington Road, among others. For those looking to reach the broader metropolitan area, Aqualine buses are an efficient option, although further details about their service may vary.

Metered taxis and rideshare apps like Uber are the safest ways to travel if you are not hiring a car. Taxis are available at major hotels; otherwise you have to phone for pickup. The fare should be confirmed with the driver at the outset. Inquire with a local what an average fare for your drive distance would be.
