Out here transport is something else. Trucks with bald tyres are common place. it will get changed when it explodes. and explode the do as most are over inflated.
A motor cycle with 6 people aboard is the norm here also.
Just a little north from here they use skylabs which is a Honda 155cc motorcycle with two cross bearers fitted with 4 seats on wither side of the bike. i have seen one of these with 9 passengers doing a 20 kilometer run up into the mountains complete with the days shopping aboard.
Some of the Busses are a joke too with gaping holes in the bodywork, Passengers on goats on the roof sometimes. I followed one down the highway a couple of days ago and the bach axle was so far out of line he was crabbing sideways as he slowed it straightened up a bit. But when he put his foot down hard to accelerate he needed both lanes.
