YANGON — Boarding one of Yangon’s decaying buses is a step onto one of the cheapest modes of transport in Myanmar.
Just pennies can get you around the city and for a population that, on average, makes less than US $100 a month, every penny counts.
But sitting on the ripped seats, listening to the bus attendant call out stops, it’s clear that even here the trappings of the modern world are hard to get away from.
