Wonderful scenes of ferries in Bangaladesh

[Tony Wilding]

when i took that ferry trip it was unbelievable, the Ferry came in fully loaded Passengers, Cars and Motor Cycles all on same deck. was like Landing Craft with Bow Ramp. immediately the ramp was lowered vehicles and passengers were fighting to board, at the same time as people were trying to disembark, it was mayhem, no shore staff to control the passengers, just a mad rush, was the same trying to board a bus, you could be the first one , end being the last to board. untill you got wise to the situation, plus i have a very heavy walking stick, they did not argue with that, Indians have no patience at all. i never saw one Life Jacket anywhere, or Liferaft.

Hi tony , it looked as tho` no one had a ticket on that one,
I sure would not like to be the Ticket collector on that train. You would have to be fit climbing up and down each carriage to check each ticket.

They travel like that in India, a train crashes many dead. Some form of population control maybe??
