Taxis

In Hurghada, the taxi has unified colors of orange and dark blue. Since May 2006, the authorities started to make the orange and dark blue colors of the taxi the standard colors for these cars. The number of the taxi cars in Hurghada is now above one thousand, all working to serve both the Egyptian and tourists who are holidaying in it. their prominent colors makes it so easy to find them on the road; even the taxi drivers keep signaling all the time for the customers to make a notice that they are ready to be rented.

All the taxi cars are equipped with a taximeter. The authorities force the taxi drivers to turn it on once the customer gets into the taxi; but it is so strange that the drivers do not pay attention to it. The taxi driver will ask the destination and will decide the fare, which is needed to give before they move to the destination. Asking them to turn the taximeter is right; but sometimes they refuse telling that they do not get their fare according to the taximeter. It leads to negotiate with them how much will be the fare to a certain destination.

Minibuses

Minibuses seat up a big number of people. Minibuses normally have specific routes to go and it is not allowed for them to takes their way to the Villages road or to get inside hotels. It is so simple to stop them in the way to take your seat among the others sharing the same minibus as their mean of transportation. They stop everywhere and sometimes, they wait to collect more clients in the way. For the poor service they present to the audience and tourists, it is not allowed for them to take tourists among their clients. It is still not recommended to take your seat in these minibuses even if it is cheap.

In-city buses

It is another mean of transportation, which can be found in Hurghada. This service is provided by El Gouna transport in the shape of a medium bus. The customer gets a ticket in these buses. However, it happens that it is crowded too and sometimes it is hard to find a seat in it. The audience prefers this type of buses as it goes to the Villages road; although it has the same disadvantage as it stops everywhere and for anyone the same like the minibuses. In the same time, it does not wait long as the minibuses in a stop to pick more clients. The bus service is provided for both the locals and the visitors.
