Bora Bora Taxis: cheap but not very safe!


rs. Yesterday I was in Nakuru City to get some mail posted. I was also looking around and found this truck overloaded with mattreses - the Kenyan way. Then I recognized these so called Bora Bora Taxis. These are bicycles that are used to transport people. Not very comfortable but cheap: you pay between 0.05 - 0.15 $ for a ride! Unfortunately these rides are not very safe. There are a lot of accidents, not only between bicycles and cars but also between the bicycles themeselves. Everybody is driving like crazy...
