How many people can you fit in a tro-tro?

Sliding doors are held on with string. The money collector’s head hangs out like a wing.
Someone hisses as they want to be dropped, he bangs on the roof for the driver to stop.

The folding seats clang as he slams on the brakes. The man at the back is jolted awake.
2 next to the driver, your size is no bar. Everyone accepts the discomfort no matter how far.

3 in the front, 2 more behind. The folding seats add 3 extra at the sides.
Everyone is sweaty cramped and waiting, looking out the window for where they’re alighting.

The floors are dusty, the doors are rusty. The windowpanes are cracked, from what no one asks.
2 hang off the back door, a child on the floor. We’ll fit 4 in the back…could we get 1 more on the driver’s lap?
