| This driver gives his children and their friends a ride home from school in his tricimoto. |
Tricimotos (motor taxis) are a common mode of trasportation in the poor sections of the city and in the towns and villages in the rest of the country. In the city, passengers get of the bus on the highway (apparently a bus will drop off and pick up passengers anywhere along the road), and then take a tricimoto or a carreta (the pedal-powered version) into the barrios where the roads are impassible to busses and in some places cars. In some of the more popular locations, such as the main entrances into the barrios, the tricimotos line up along the side of the highway like a cab line. The law prohibits the tricimotos from driving on the main roads, but like many other regulations here, there are few or no resources to enforce the law.

This tricimoto is in the front yard of a school in an invasions area.
The school and houses in this area have electricity, but no running water. |
