There is a high risk to catch the coronavirus in crowded places. Crowded bus stops and public transport vehicles are particularly risky. Taxi drivers in Luanda offer an alternative for students. The "university taxi" takes them to university and brings them back home. Some students welcome the initiative. The price of the package varies according to the route. The monthly fee ranges from 24 to 26 Euros.
