The road was filled with potholes at every corner and each one was filled with dirty and murky water. The bus kept on moving through slowly but by the time it go to the last portion of the road, there was a gaping hole in the ground that was extremely muddy and deep.</p><p>The bus tried to pass but got stuck in the mud, and the water was probably around 2-3feet high. The youths were just standing by the side with their shovels and once the bus got stuck, they started gyrating. One of them who I assume was their leader came up to the driver's side and told the driver that he'll have to pay them to dig out his tires from the mud and the driver agreed. I wasn't bothered about that, what really blew my mind was when they said that everyone would have to leave the bus.</p><p>I couldn't fathom stepping into the murky water but alas, the boys had their business plan ready, once people started saying that they couldn't enter the water, they came and offered to carry us on their shoulders for a small fee that was equivalent to about 1.5$. That bust was a 40 seater bus and that day they made 60 dollars, and an extra 20$ for digging out the tires of the bus.</p><p>When we managed to get free, I looked back and saw as the boys celebrated when another car got stuck in the pit of doom. In retrospect, I now realise that they were the ones that actually destroyed the road themselves, if that isn't ridiculous then I don't know what is.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"f3he4th85","appParentAuthor":"ssee333","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
