Why on earth not? What is wrong with public transportation? And 5km away? I would walk that distance to get work, wouldn't take you more than 20 minutes at max, probably a lot less. And then there's bikes, and yes, you can deliver things with a bicycle, lot's of delivery services use them for that. You can get a cart-thingy to hook up to your bike, and it can transport reasonably large cargo. And even if you use a car to deliver things, it would help dramatically if everyone stopped relying on their cars so much for personal transportation. Remember, in many countries, it was not usual for the average Joe to own a car 50 years ago. They still had thriving business, involving transportation at the time, and people lived far away from the workplace then also. And now the car has suddenly become 'essential', why I wonder? But, further still, what has any of this go to do with travel in Africa? (And is there no-one with an answer to my train question?)
