Haiti - driving around

Driving around Port-au-Prince has three forms: motorcycle taxi, car, and back of a truck. One day, Junior and I relied on a moto taxi the whole day. For about $20 for the day, we would jump on the back of the motorcycle (me in the middle, Junior on the back), and the driver wore a helmet but we did not. (It was relatively unusual for our driver to have one.) It's far faster than a car, because of the terrible traffic. We would wind our way between and around lanes, and change directions with mid-block U-turns. It's normal there for a car to see some space on the right of the street and pass the line of cars on the right and merge back in. I never saw other drivers get annoyed by the aggressive maneuvering of the other drivers, which was surprising.

To go to Gressier, we rode on the back of a truck. There was a metal rack around us, but we were pretty much unprotected. The truck made various stops, and there were agreed-upon fares for each distance. Not comfortable (see photos).
