Motorcycle Taxis - Around the world on two wheels

Motorcycle Taxis have the most curious names - boda-boda in Sudan, habal-habal, chingchee, coco taxi... But they all perform one important function -- they get people (often along with their luggage and livestock) from point A to point B. Never mind the comfort of the ride; that's purely functional. There’s a joy in it, no doubt, for the inveterate wanderer, but for most people in many parts of the world, these undignified modes of public transport are ways of life. They are cheap and often the only option.

Take a look at these motorcycle taxis from around the world.
