Photo Friday: Waiting for the Bus in Goa, India

Buses are the most important means of transport in Goa. Even though the buses run frequently, they are most of the time overcrowded. Local buses are never air-conditioned. There is no need because the windows are open. A grid separates the driver from the passengers. The first two seats behind the driver are usually reserved for women. There is always a whole bunch of passengers waiting at the bus stop. When the bus arrives, the crowd pushes and shoves their way in. If you want to hop on as well, all you can do is join the bustle. Bus stops are my favourite places because they offer brilliant photo opportunities.
