Hellish Pakistani minibuses (15 photos)

Now, if there's one thing Pakistanis are good at, it's car tuning!





Not a single owner of a Gazelle in Makhachkala would even dream of something like this, but here in Pakistan, it's the norm: missiles with tanks on the roof, gold wheels, carpets everywhere, and even a shock of women's hair on the body, as the highest level of skill...

Moreover, the income of a minibus driver directly depends on how cool the tuning of his minibus is. The thing is that self-respecting Pakistanis are not particularly eager to ride in a poorly tuned car and would prefer to wait at the bus stop for the next one...

So some ride packed to the brim, skimming off all the cream, while others drag themselves along the road half-empty... Therefore, the task is to change, in essence, a passenger truck beyond recognition.



This is what the final destination of a minibus in Pakistan looks like. Hundreds of cars have gathered in a live queue, waiting to leave for the route.

Just like some kind of colored beetles. And if you look closely - these are miserable mini-trucks.

Do you still hate Gazelles for their spaciousness and tightness?) You haven't driven this miracle of technology





There are so many cars in the queue that drivers have time to sleep for an hour or two right at their workplace.

It's amazing how they manage to fold up on such a short seat.



Naturally, as soon as we arrived at this place, a crowd of drivers immediately gathered around us, excited by our interest in their creations.

And, of course, everyone immediately began to pull us to show their tuning monster.



The cars are decorated from head to toe with painted tin plates.



Notice what junk these trucks are. Where there is no bright tuning, the terrible state of the body is visible.



And where the body is decorated, everything looks completely different!



The interior. Expensive and rich!



Modest Abdul Rashid.

Many drivers write their names on the side of the minibus.



How does this pig even manage to steer in this tiny cockpit?

He looks like I do in a toy car at the supermarket when he's driving.



Departure for the line...



Passengers take their seats according to the tickets they bought



The tiny body-salon has 10 seats and... sometimes the same standing, hanging, lying and any other possible.



When everyone doesn't fit in the car, you can even go like this. And no one will be against it, and no traffic police will get the driver for dangerous transportation of passengers... This is Pakistan, baby.
