The only means of public transportation are buses, which are run by the Transporte Colectivo Urbano de Luanda. This is a state owned company that runs 40 bus lines within the city of Luanda and the whole country. The system has currently around 300 buses but will expand to 400 buses soon. The most popular means of transportation in Angola are mini bus taxis called &quot;Candonguerios&quot;. These buses are distinctly painted blue and white and are popular with the local population.
