School Transportation

I've been waiting for a while to try to get pictures of just how many students you can cram into a van or tuk-tuk. Last week Lon saw a tuk-tuk struggle to get up a hill with 20 adults "inside" (at least 4 were hanging off the sides).

The favored vehicle is this ubiquitous van. It probably holds a minimum of 30 kindergarten students in its 7 passenger seats.

Five students sit up front with the driver.

I wasn't quick enough to catch this tuk-tuk head on, but there had to be at least 15 kids in there.

From the "archives":

New Delhi (2013): Especially with older students, you can cram in a whole lot more if you put book bags up top.

Old Delhi (2014): Any type of vehicle can be school transportation. Here it's a cycle-rickshaw.
