== Cotisse Transport Diego ==
Since 2019 Cotisse offers the route between [[Diego Suarez|Diégo-Suarez]] and Antananarivo. The bus leaves Tana about noon and depending on road conditions can be expected to arrive in Diego about 28-30 hours later, so between 4pm and 6pm the following day. In the other direction, the departure from Diego is at around 8am and can be expected in Tana between noon and 2pm.

The price of a ticket is 90,000 Ar (April 2019). The tickets bought can only be used for the complete stretch, so, unfortunately, it's not possible to break the journey down in parts by a stay-over in [[Ambanja]] for example without buying two separate tickets for the complete route.

[[Kilao's Hotel]] is located in the same building as Cotisse's Diego station which includes a good restaurant and a cyber office with internet terminals (for those who still use them). Alternatively, another recommended hotel, bar and restaurant within walking distance and with a great view of the city and the entire region is [[Hotel La Terrasse du Voyageur]].

== What to do whilst waiting in Antananarivo ==
'''[[Restaurant Ranjatiana]]'''<br>
Just on top of the small patisserie on the left to the Cotisse office is the excellent Ranjatiana restaurant. The restaurant with the very clean open kitchen offers a large variety of meals, from traditional Malagasy food to European and Chinese meals. The sandwiches are ideal to take with you on the bus. At the well stocked bar is a TV and Wifi is available for free.
