Can you imagine 12-15 people piled in and around and on top of this 125cc Honda tricycle...not as a feat but a regular occurrence. When I occupy the side car, there is not enough room to accomodate Cathy...Filipinos will easily put in 4 and 3 behind the driver's seat, add 4 on top, 4 standing across the back! There thousands of these on the roads travelling 20-40 kph and also open side cars that carry pigs, cattle, lumber, and any other goods you can think of. Sometimes 8 metre steel rods are transport tied to the roof and dragging on the road behind. Lots of ingenuity when cost is the major factor. Travelling in town costs usually 10-20 pesos or 25-50 cents Cdn.
