Tap Tap

A tap tap would be the public transportation....like a taxi or bus stop. Some are big and most would be just a pick-up truck painted with crazy colors.

We road in them lost and every time was an experience to remember. I have to say a word about driving in Haiti. IT'S SUICIDE! They fly down the road. No speed limit. No age restrictions. No police on patrol. The streets are packed with people and cars. No bikes. We were inches to passing cars going 40. At first you just learn to look away because it makes your stomach hurt every time a car passes. I don't think I could ever get use to it. Really. The worst would be the road conditions. Driving in a bus was a challenge and the speed bumps where huge.

In a tap tap you should be able to fit 12 people in. We tried 12 and it didn't work very well. She had to sit on a lap or squat.
