paying for the bus

We do a lot of our travelling in small vans that hold about 15 people including the driver.

In general they hang around and leave when full, dropping people off and picking people up as space and neccessity dictates. The fun part comes in the fare.

People pay what the fare is but when change needs to be made the passengers generally do a lot of the math and change making as the moneys are passed up from the back. When change can't be made teh driver will do it, and generally one of the people in the row immediately behind will be responsible for passing teh money up and saying how many people it is for.

Not THAT exciting I guess. Except when it's me and I get to use my stupendously awesome Arabic number abilities.

Stupendously.
