In the largely urban and always small scale UK, these things ara plague, the Axles of Evil. But in this country vehicles like Toyota Land Cruiser actually make sense, and it is astonishing how many people and goats will fit into the crew-cab pickup.You can hire a 4X4 with driver for around $50 a day all found (including the drivers expenses when away overnigt): it's a good way to see a lot of the highlands in a short time.
Shared bus is a more flexible way to get around Yemen than using coaches. There is no fixed departure time - when the bus is full, it goes. You can find these buses by asking taxi drivers.We used the shared bus get to Aden from Ta'iz, because the RAHA coach departs only twice a day at 6am and 8pm, the time wasn't suitable.So we were in this shared bus with 10 people, squeezed in the seats. Not the most comfortable ride, but fortunately the journey was only 2 hours. I wouldn't recommend using shared bus for any journey longer than that.YR800 per head - half the price of RAHA coach.

Shared taxi in common in Yemen, like other Middle Eastern countries. I took shared taxi in Saiyun for communing to Shiba and Tarim. Depends on the ccar type, it may take 5 pax (2 in front 3 at end) or 8 (2 +3+3). Taxi won't leave from terminal until it is full. If you want to take the front seat by sharing with another passenger, be at the terminal early.
