Here's something you don't see every day. A state of calm in waiting for the bus. And a driver happily willing to sit and wait. Then again as you can see there's still plenty of room left...
You catch a mini bus around Cairo - most trips cost less than a pound. Where as an equivalent taxi trip costs about eight pounds. However a taxi saves you money on cigarettes. The drivers puff away at such a rate you only need to inhale deeply in the taxi to get a 'fix'.
The rear windows in the taxis rarely wind down so you are guaranteed 'passive-smoker' satisfaction.
And there you go...
Told ya...
Plenty of room.
