Microbuses



What is the plural of microbus?

Yesterday I saw a taxi zooming along next to a microbus and the passengers were making change through the windows. It was amazing. And probably really dangerous, and a pretty common occurrence.

I get down on Egypt sometimes but one thing I do like is the feeling of community here. Kind of reminds me of the Latter-day Saints sometimes. In a microbus this morning a lady got on with two children, and the man next to me picked up one of the children and held her while the mom was trying to get her other child and her bag situated. Makes me think of a Latter-day Saint family moving in to a new neighborhood and the ward comes over to help out.

"Who is that driving away with your kids?"

"I don't know, someone from the Relief Society I guess."
