Photographer’s Note

Taxi service in Central African Republic for local people is cheap... very cheap!

This one bring people from a city to another, sometimes for a few hours driving...

The first class is the seat with a view, on the top!

Great moment, very well captured. Was it taken at the longer end of the zoom? It's not tremendously sharp.

Great shot. I had the opportunity to take this kind of taxi in Malawi and it was an experinece of a life time (and one I am happy I dont need to take in the future)

Great picture capturing the reality of transportation in much of Africa. The beat up overloaded car with people sitting in dangerous uncomfortable spots is how transportation is in the poorer African countries.
