Oh my God! Definitely it'll have frightened me! Fran
ReplyDeleteWell, I suppose that's one way to get around - but it definitely doesn't look safe...
ReplyDeleteAfter I yelled at this kid, he responded to me "I am only going two stops..." Oh ok then, that makes riding this way ok. Nice and safe kid, smart.
ReplyDeleteOMG, that's too dangerous. hope he's fine.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least there's that handy ledge to stand on...
ReplyDelete*shakes head*
Yikes. I'll never forget, one time in Cairo I saw so many people hanging out the side of a bus that it was literally leaning over - and gasoline was pouring out of the tank! (No gas cap of course...)

That's really scary. I wonder how will his parents react if they see their kids doing that?
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by and thanks for the compliments. Happy Wednesday to you! :D
Hokey dinah! That kid has some serious cahones! If anyone tried that here I'm sure they'd be arrested in a heartbeat. *shaking my head in disbelief*
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!!! Awesome picture, but what was that guy thinking?!?
ReplyDeleteSafety first indeed. They think it's fun and don't realize how dangerous it is. Sadly such views are often seen in my country too. Bad transportation and lack of discipline are the main cause.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
this is more scary than my entry, thanks for dropping by....
ReplyDeleteYikes! Wonder why the driver doesn't stop and pull him off? Or a policeman? Sheesh.
ReplyDeleteThat's just plain crazy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and linking up! Happy WW.
Yikes, that is scary!!
ReplyDeleteNice to see you again. Good for you! All kids require yelling at once in a while especially teen-agers and young adults who tend to feel immortal and don't realize there are things worse than death like surviving being badly mangled under a train :{
ReplyDeleteWow, that is scary looking. It's amazing that you were able to snap such a clear photo while yelling at this kid!
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing a kid in a sailor hat doing the same thing on the back of a bus in Brooklyn when I was little girl. My mother said to me "He'll be lucky if he doesn't get killed!" I was really scared. This brought back that memory. I don't think I've seen a bus with that kind of fender recently.
ReplyDeleteOh that's just crazy!
ReplyDeleteWow, just wow...shaking my head at the illusion of immortality that children have.
ReplyDeleteJust came across your blog...that picture is crazy! I visited Cairo back in 2007-loved it!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! How dangerous!! I can't believe someone thinks this is a good idea!?
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Crazy kid!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and linking your WW post up at my place. Have a great day.
Kristi, Live and Love...Out Loud
