Public transport is a challenge
Walking is the ideal method to move around Tunis. However, keep in mind that pedestrians do not have the right of way and should be maneuvered as if you were a giant vehicle. Other kinds of transportation are not always as simple. The Métro Léger de Tunis light-rail transport system features 66 stops spread around the city and six bright-green train lines. There is no set schedule, and you will be squeezed in with the rest of Tunisia's commuters at peak hours. The metro is not very extensive, and certain areas of the city are only accessible by cab.
Look for the red (not green!) blinking light on the dashboard to hail a cab. It's helpful to have a few MBs of data on your phone; most taxis don't have GPS, so you can wind yourself going about in circles. Make sure you urge the driver to use the meter — a trip across town with no traffic should not cost more than 10 dinar.
