Signature Tune
Antsirabe, Madagascar, 1967
Photograph by Albert Moldvay
Drivers stand ready amid a fleet of rickshaws in Antsirabe, Madagascar. Rickshaws are known here by the French pousse-pousse, which translates to "push-push," though "pull-pull" would seem to be more appropriate.
Antsirabe's streets teem with these colorfully painted buggies, and even somewhat long trips earn pullers only pennies. So competition for patrons is fierce, and visitors here are frequently swarmed by solicitous drivers.
