Sri Lankan Buses

Oh my god! They are absolutely crazy, but so very cheap. Our return journey to work each day costs about 30p. That involves two buses on both journeys and takes just over half an hour.

They get crammed with as many people as can get on them and it doesn't seem to bother people if they are hanging out of the doors. I think the worst place to be is in the middle wanting to get off.

The bus drivers just force their way through all the traffic and people, I've only seen them slow down to let a cow cross the road. Anything else on the road just has to dive for cover.

The conductor must be given danger money to collect money. He usually hangs out of either the front or back door.

It's an entertaining experience to say the least.
