What are your thoughts on the popular-yet-unsafe-and-disorganized minibus taxis?

Essential in the second and third world, subsidising them to increase availability and security is probably the best thing to do in regards to corruption and general government incompetence in those places.

Their safety can be greatly improved by mounting seats (with integral headrest) backwards.
But its too smart of the trick for general masses.

In Jakarta, minivans are now fully integrated into a common fare system + branding. Before this they are often framed for causing congestion by stopping everywhere and would stop to look for passengers

In the future new minivans with auto doors and aircon will soon serve the city.

In Taiwan a minibus by law has 9 seats or less. These usually run routes that aren't popular enough for a full-size city bus and are also usually free. I take them once in a blue moon (usually when I'm hiking) but prefer not to since they are often both cramped as fuck and full of old farts.

I've taken a Dolmus in Turkey. I didn't really see the diffrence between it and a bus, apart from the size.

It's always find it odd to me when they never sell vehicles in North-America but they will in Malaysia or South Africa.

Do they nearly kill all their occupants by driving like mad men in the mountain roads like they do in HK?

Every Hiace driver that I came across were complete retards, unable to drive properly, creating jams because they've had no idea about how to position themselves properly in lines and because they're all slow as fuck
