Le zémidjan, qui signifie en langue locale fon « emmène-moi vite » est une moto-taxi que l'on trouve au Bénin avant les années 1990. Il est répandu dans toute l'Afrique de l'Ouest et en Asie. (fr) A zémidjan (or zem) is a type of taxi found in Benin. The highest concentration is found in the largest city, Cotonou, where there are an estimated 72,000. Zémidjans are motorcycles that carry one to two passengers for short distances in towns. The fares are entirely negotiable. The drivers wear uniforms that are color-coded by city and have registration numbers on the back. The name derives from the Fon language where zémidjan means "get me there fast" or "take me quickly". The way to call a zémidjan is "kekeno", a word derived from the Fon language. 'Keke' means motorcycle and 'no' means the 'owner of': kekeno thus literally means 'owner of motorcycle'. The zémidjan typically stops by and the passenger and driver negotiate the price, depending on the final destination. The minimum rate is 100FCFA. A movie called Dreamcycles by Nelson Roubert was made about the kekenos of Tevisodji Park. (en) |
