Carting the kids around

Children are transported by their parents in ways that would be considered far too dangerous and uncomfortable in the UK. Tiny tots are often seen in the front basket of bicycles or motorbikes, and slightly older ones on the luggage racks. I have seen up to 7 people perched on one motorbike. Another difference here is that parents don’t provide a private taxi service for their children as they do in the UK. The children are responsible for making their own way to school or anywhere else, usually taking their smaller siblings with them. If they don’t have use of a bicycle, they walk.
