22nd day, Mangily - Long live public transport!

I felt inspired to compare public transport in the last 2 countries I have lived in –

Swiss trains versus Malagasy taxi brousses (bush taxi):

Approximate distance travelled for 5 €:

5 km versus 100 km

Passenger entertainment:

Smart phone/Ipad/Laptop versus cheerful pop music at top volume

Punctuality:

+- 30 seconds of indicated time versus + ½ hours to 4 hours of indicated time

Likelihood of breakdowns:

0.048 % versus 48 %

Time needed to travel 20 km:

10 minutes versus 2-5 hours (depending on breakdowns)

Additional charges:

100 CHF if caught without ticket versus ca. double the regular price because of vazaha (foreigner) abuse

Non-human passengers:

Dogs, of course with leash and muzzle versus chickens, possibly goats

Views of scenery:

Magnificent versus stunning

I’d say it’s a clear tie!
