One of the most characteristic things of Zanzibar are the buses. The buses are more like converted short chassis flat-bed trucks which results in a short and cramped space to sit. There are wooden benches lining the interior and although it can be tight it is actually a cozy situation with at least some opportunity for airflow. There are some seriously impressive loads carried by these buses normally stacked on the roof. The buses and routes are indicated by a number and it's pretty easy and straightforward to navigate any bus to your destination.
I have a great memory of my brother once visiting. We took a bus to Paje and on the way it got pretty full. However, I knew it was nowhere near to it's full capacity. My brother commented that it was pretty packed just as we were pulling up to a group full of school kids. I knew he'd get a kick out of just how many more school children could fit inside!
