    This takes the expression "people-mover" to ridiculous extremes.
    Shocking some peoples lack of a sense of safety

    Sure, they're very small.

    Police didn't notice that the driver was a little 'eccentric' :D

    Could've fit twice as many in a Skoda Superb.

    Not exaggerating here but in the 70's there were 28 of us going to school in the back of a Transit, wooden benches around 3 1/2 sides, just room enough to open one of the back doors. To be fair it was along quiet country roads, that looks like a busy road in China, and the bus is a lot smaller than a Transit.

    Sure 15 years ago my Bus driver would cram about 30 kids into a tiny 15-seat minibus, it was 3 kids to every 2 seats (4 for the younger kids) and the rest sat on stools she squeezed in :pac:

    That's nothing - when I went to school all 400 of us had no bus at all and had to walk!!! :pac:

    Must resist the joke about the five Jews in the seats and the rest in the ash tray, so I won't say it:p
    On a happy note skip to ten seconds, little pinky looks very happy along with his school friends.
