Comparing public transport in New Zealand and Ethiopia

There are several differences between Ethiopia transport and New Zealand one. For example, in New Zealand most buses are owned by privet companies where in Ethiopia the government control most of them. There is no bus line in Addis Ababa and it is much busier in the afternoon than Auckland. Another aspect is that cars are much more expensive to buy in Ethiopia so people depend on public transport more than New Zealand. There are two types of buses that work in Addis Ababa mini and coach buses. The coach buses are owned by the government and it is much cheaper than the mini buses. However, in Addis Ababa the government bus stops working at 9am whereas the mini buses work until midnight. In New Zealand the public transport is more expensive than Ethiopia. For instance, hiring tax from the city centre to the airport will cost double the price here. The Ethiopian government have invested more money to improve the public transport because of the population. Addis Ababa is the largest city of Ethiopia and there are four million people lived there so people want more public transport to make their life easier.
