Taking a bus in Salvador is life risking. No exaggeration. I don´t think the bus drivers or other drivers understand the concept of breaking, slowing down when you see a car or taking precautions. I personally think they drive with their eyes closed and pray for the best…..
It´s all an experience living abroad and I do enjoy these mad journeys but sometimes I genuinely think I won´t see tomorrow. For example, last week, a car swerves in front of my bus and CRASH. We go flying forward. “Did we kill someone?!” asks my neighbour.. No…. we just smashed in the back of a Ford. Get off the bus for 10 mins, exchange details, scream at each other and off we go again….
Another fun experience is when the buses are so full that the doors are kept open. It feels like you´re being squashed by a sumo wrestler as loads of people pile on top of each. To get off you whack about 10 people in the head, arms, legs and make sure you get to the front way before your stop otherwise the bus continues.
Patience? Doesn´t exist. It´s all about the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
