Public Transportation Issues in Togo
Because public transportation is very hard to obtain, buses and taxis are not going to be an option for you. This could cause a problem if you want to make it to school or work on time. Taking a look at the roads in Togo, they are all paved and maintained well enough that you shouldn't run into any issues while driving however, it should be pointed out that when a dry spell occurs, it could cause cracking on the roadways and this could cause pooling in those cracks. You may also find mud after a rainy season which can hinder driving as well. You want to travel safely at all times in order to avoid any damage done to your vehicle.
