I don't know if you can make out all of the CRAP hanging in this car, but there was plenty to entertain us during our ride. Most cabs here don't have seatbelts, and rarely have any gas in the tank. Weird. You'll walk down the street, and they'll fly by honking, in case you forgot you needed a ride. Some even have clever little horns that sound like whistles or other slightly obnoxious noises. Every single taxi has a cross or rosary beads or a sticker of Guadalupe, and while the legal limit is 4 pasajeros, we've definitely crammed six people into one of these little green machines.
The roads were strangely empty for these next two shots. Usually there'd be other taxis swerving around us, since speed limits and lane markings are more like guidelines...

EXACTLY the same in Peru. All of it.
ReplyDeleteExcept these taxi's look much newer, not duct taped together.

VERY valid point.
ReplyDeleteand not as bad as india. you would be dodging elephants and camels along with every kind of scooter, bicycle, and motorcycle known to man. the guideline comment applies as well.
