Local Color: Safari Busses

So, our version of mass transportation in St. Thomas is the independently-owned sarafi bus. Sarafi busses are basically a big pick-up truck with the bed converted into a seating area a little smaller than a short bus. Most of them have about four rows of seats, and I suppose four people could fit comfortably on each bench. Some are for tourists (the ones with all the white gawkers) and some are for locals. Many safaris also operate as a means of personal self-expression, presumably for the owners.  And I guess safari-bus owners are just as complex and multi-faceted as anyone...

 Does anything seem incongrous about this picture to you?

And I thank him for nudi-mudflaps.

And for money plate covers too.
