At least that was the case in Guatemala. Glad you enjoyed the video! Sheila, we did see a few names on the buses, but now the names represent a company, or collection of buses rather than one.

Like you said - one can't get any closer to an other culture. Or 3rd class trains - it's like being in a marketplace in a small village ;-) .-= Fida´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.unusual-travel-destinations.com/Ariau-Amazon-Towers.html" rel="nofollow">Dec 17, Ariau Amazon Towers</a> =-.

When I was a little girl growing up in Panama I would search for the bus with my name on the window. Apparently Sheila was pretty popular back then though I haven't seen a bus with names in the windows for a long time. Great pictures and video! I remember them well.

It makes the adventure much more memorable and meaningful. It’s amazing what we get to experience when traveling with the locals. It makes the adventure much more memorable and meaningful.

The chicken buses are an important part of the Central/South American culture. We have both enjoyed them and endured them all at the same time. :) Thanks Carol, I’m glad you enjoyed the post.

Getting close to the people who live there (maybe not that close), will give you a more informative taste of their everyday life. Enjoy!
