Getting around

Carrying laundry  "Dhobi Wallah"
Yellow and Black Cab
Tuk-Tuk
I have always enjoyed and been fascinated by how goods and people get transported in India. When on the road you will see scooters, bullock-carts, bicycles, over crowded buses, and lots of people...

Back of a BEST bus
Lot's of bullock carts along the roadside in Goa.  This one looked like it was carrying the laundry from a nearby hotel to get washed and then returned . There were homes that had big yards with clothes lines with lot's of white sheets hanging all over and white towels.  I thought that this was hotel linens...
We are in a car being transported across the Mondavi river from Nerul to Panjim.  The barge was full of scooters, walk-on's and then there were two cars of which I was driving one of them.  When I had to back out of the barge I had basically most of the passengers help me back out by standing on the side and waving me on.  This also happened when I was in a very narrow street and the bus and  our small car could not pass.  Several passengers got out of the bus and helped me maneuver the bus and I passed it by about 2 inches!
