Public Transport

Just had to post this photo I took on the main highway (which is 2 lanes) out to the coast. This is just the back of the truck, which is chock-full of people. Space ran out, so guys are hanging off the back. This truck is going about 60 miles per hour. i won't go into a million details about traffic accidents and such here - suffice it to say that they are more frequent than they ought to be and that people are severely hurt or killed when they are involved. Few have seat belts and many travel just like this. Head-ons on these two-lane highways (which have curves and hills) are all too common. Makes me think twice about taking public transport anywhere. Of course, having someone throw up on my shoes (which happened to a colleague), riding next to a blaring speaker for 6 hours (another colleague), having a baby changed on your lap (colleague), smelling dried fish for hour after hour (colleague) or getting worms in your backside from the wet seat you are sitting on (which happened to a friend) are other deterrents. - Cami
