As I’ve mentioned before the transportation system here is different than home. You’ll notice that most trucks and minibuses have things painted on them. Semi-trailers often have the words “abnormal load” to indicate the load is especially high or large and a “T” on it for trailer. Most trucks and buses also have the numbers 80 or 100 on the back of the vehicle which indicates the maximum speed for the vehicle. After travelling on the highway a number of times, I think that most drivers consider the number a guideline to be ignored.
Also, you will notice that many minibuses have bible verses or other words of praise (including “Thanks Mom”) decaled on the windshield. As many people have to work very hard and save up for a long time to afford one of these vehicles, they want the world to know who they give the thanks and the glory to.
