What is transportation like in Beirut?

Hello, there. Ill be staying in Beirut next month. I have some business which nature I cant reveal to you. I will have to shoot you then. Im kidding of course. Since I will be living there for a while, I am interested in what kind of transportation I can expect in Beirut. Thank you in advance.

Hello to you too. Beirut is an interesting place for working. Now I am the one that is kidding. You can choose between buses and mini-buses in Beirut. They are pretty cheap and they connect all parts of Beirut well. Itll cost you to go from one part of the town to another around 1000-2000 Lebanese Pounds (LBP) per person. But they also have the service. You pronounce it like French would. It is in fact a cab, but the driver collects up to four people that go in the same direction. It costs around 0.50 euros. He can refuse to drive you if you dont go to a certain direction. But, if you want to use the service alone and dont want taxi driver to stop to collect other passengers, then you will pay more. Itll cost you about 2.50 euros and that is what is called taxi.
