In the past year, I've started riding the commuter bus in from my western suburb to downtown for work. I still dislike traveling in conveyance with that many strangers...and now I have firm evidence to back up why. *g* And mine aren't even really crowded buses in third world countries! You (and Julien) have my sympathies.
Here's a question for you (well, prefaced by some observations): in Central America (and probably South America, and lots of other places), mass transit between communities is by bus; pack up your kiddies and your livestock and your mail, and away you go. In the Caribbean, it's the mailboat. Maybe some places, it's a train. On these buses you've described, are you stuck in with the mail and the chickens? Or are your fellow passengers other tourists?
