Getting Around as a Family


Three grown men riding on a motorcycle is a common sight here and allowed by law. Families rely on motorcycles for transportation too. Pictured here are creche nurse Regina, her husband, and two children on their way to a wedding reception. Women typically ride side saddle in their saris, a balancing feat in itself! When you add a squirming toddler it becomes quite a challenge. The older children are adept at holding on. A national helmet law has been passed but is not yet widely enforced.
