Transportation in Kabul

The streets were filled with hand carts today.  I wonder if the carts are manned by a certain ethic group as most look more Asian that other peoples on the street of Kabul.

A step up from the hand carts are the donkey carts hauling bigger loads.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next up are bicycles and motor cycles.  In Afghanistan, a rug is used to cover the seat!  And a scarf is used instead of a helmet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dealing with traffic at the 4 pm rush hour requires an expert driver.  Luckily, our driver is young, patient and experienced in nudging the SUV into lanes and streets against all odds…even in the rain!  Perhaps a remnant from the British era, Kabul even has stands in the middle of the street for the traffic cop.
