 Getting people places ain't easy in Dhaka. Those windows were broken by rioters, for instance. And those those scratches are from two speeding busses grinding together as they race to the next bus-stop. The red text reads "Speedy services limited."

Typical fares are now around 7-8 cents for these types. To make things profitable, they welded together metal bars to the original chassis to make the bus bigger. And this primary mode of transportation for the 10 million people in the city.

Nice image - Like the colours and sharpness - Find the crop a little too harsh though
