AS SAFE AS IT GETS

Despite the obvious danger, several women hitch a ride standing up in the bed of a pickup car going at high speed in Burneh district, Bangkalan. Forced to take the risk because of an inordinate shortage of public transportation vehicles, the passengers were on their way back to their home village from trading at the Bangkalan traditional market.
