- Look at the sitting arrangement
I'm officially omo Ibadan (By marriage). One of the means of transportation there is Bus. Long bus,Taxi(Micra) Tricycle, Bike and bus are the form of public transport used in Ibadan. They are painted in white with a twin blue strips.
These buses are one of its kind, the outer part of most is like the one used during the world war, the inside is worse because the seats are nothing to write home about, God bless your soul and sit beside the engine, your legs will possibly feel the pain and the heat. Pray rain doesn't fall because the chance that you will be wet is high especially if you are sitted beside the window and door.- Don't board when its raining
Usually, 4 people sits on the seat while the conductor sit on the engine making it tight for the passengers to stretch their legs and also the seats are always to tight. You have to alternate between resting and stretching your back.
The conductors are not as impertinent as those in Lagos, they have little or no education with their drivers so don't expect any good grammar from them.
The most interesting part is when they are climbing bumps or hills, OMG! it just move to one side as though its going to fall/pour. There engines works better than they look in most cases. They hardly shout/talk/abuse/curse when they are been hit from the back, all they do is to keep moving.
They've done a lot of welding on it, its save you don't board them when you are in your Christmas/ Party dress.
The good side of it is that it's cheaper than any other form of transportation there. However, there are few neat ones too, you might be lucky to board them.
