Riding a bus in Central America

In certain parts of Central America, countries use old Canadian school busses as their public transportation. You know the ones. The yellow school busses you see in elementary school parking lots. You probably rode one to school at some point in your life. I met an American in Costa Rica that said his father ran a business that sold old rickety yellow school busses to countries in central america. They were everywhere and were usually a two-man operation. The driver just did his thing. He drove the bus and handled the music. The second guy stood at the door and took care of the flow of people on and off the bus. The music bumps and so do the seats. Check the Canadian "Blue Bird" somewhere in Nicaragua below.
