Zémidjan

[1] The highest concentration is found in the largest city, Cotonou, where there are an estimated 72,000.

The drivers wear uniforms that are color-coded by city and have registration numbers on the back.

[1][3] Would-be passengers summon a zémidjan by calling "kekeno", a word derived from the Fon language.

The zémidjan typically stops by and the passenger and driver negotiate the price, depending on the final destination.

A movie called Dreamcycles by Nelson Roubert was made about the kekenos of Tevisodji Park.
