My View From "The Cuddle Bus"

What is a "cuddle bus' ?  It is the mass transportation vehicle used in East Africa; a 12 or 15 passenger van that has been modified to fit 19 people.  The modifications are usually extra flip-up seats placed in the aisle, and the urging to scoot over and fit one more person on the bench.  This means 4 to 5 people across. Packages go in the back, on top, or in your lap. Comfortable seat, interior padding and shock-absorbers are optional. Why 'cuddle bus'?  Our co-worker Richelle Howard named it this saying, "Because that is what you do!"
