Goan Death Van in India

Nov 15, 2012 by Daniel McBane 4 Comments

Hearse Van Goa India

Traveling in India, you will likely find yourself on at least one bus so decrepit with a driver so insane, you’ll be convinced you won’t survive the journey, so I suppose it’s only fitting that your last ride ever be on a converted public bus. At least that’s what they use in Canacona, Goa. The rest of India, being mostly Hindu or Muslim, is probably different.

I’ve realized I should have added a definition for non-native English speakers, so here you go:
hearse
— A vehicle for conveying a coffin to a church or cemetery.

    As they say, “When in Rome”. Hope the journey was okay and it had shock absorbers. I’m noticing that the roads in India are gradually improving, it is a shame that the driving hasn’t.

    I have seen such types of mini buses/vans all over India. Although never travelled in one of them but I will try it just to get some experience.

      It’s probably best you don’t experience riding in that vehicle. I’ve added the definition for ‘hearse’ to my post…

        I think I might take your advice and keep away from it. No place for a lady on a bus like that.

Welcome!

As the more astute among you may have guessed, my name is Daniel McBane. I've been traveling and working overseas for almost ten years now and have finally decided to document some of the strange, crazy or just plain funny encounters and observations from my travels. I've also added a travel guide section, figuring I should reward my four readers by providing at least something of use. Read more on my about page.
