The "chicken buses"

When it comes to the yellow "chicken bus" that we use daily; these run on dedicated routes and are setup as their own small enterprises. 

In the bus there is often a small timetable stuck with the family name of the owners next to the driver. This information is sometimes buried amongst tons of stickers and loads of religious objects. 

Because of failure to deliver a unified transport system to the public it is not a very homogenous transport system here... So you are never really sure what bus is arriving around the corner as you wait at the bus stop (for a fairly punctual service). 

The fare is incredibly cheap (in European standards) and for 20 pence you can travel almost 10 kilometres!!!

Most of the chicken buses are second, third or forth hand yellow school buses from USA that definitely seen a fair bit of action and are very tired. 

Travelling in them is a rough BUT strangely enough also a simultaneously amicable experience. 

You often literally thrown in by the emergency exit to this yellow metal container stuffed full of local people. The amount of people stuffed into the bus also means getting off and on can prove very hard. 

But the lack of space does not prevent the local traders from selling anything you can think of such as biscuits, fruits, headache pills etc etc etc.
