Travelers of every age crowd the dilapidated buses that form the backbone of India inter-city transportation system. I made this image in the old city, just outside of the City palace. The palace represents the historic and touristic India. Yet the real India is represented by the reality of dependence on a decaying intercity bus system such as this one. These adults are resigned to it. For the children, riding the bus, no matter how decrepit and tardy it might be, is a great adventure. This image tells both of those stories.
