“…The term 'artisanal transport' is used in the Francophone literature from Sub-Saharan Africa (Behrens et al, 2016;Zouhoula Bi, 2018) and the term 'popular transport' has also been introduced.

In the light of the limits of the informal transport concept and the recent critical reappraisal and diversification of approaches to the topic, this Special Issue shifts attention from informal transport to the multiple ways in which informalities and (in)formalisation processes manifest in urban mobility.…”
