Buses - driving in Argentina

You think driving in Pittsburgh is bad? Try driving here in Argentina!
General driving -
There are hardly any lane dividers here, and people form lanes as they want, often crossing into others and just in general doing whatever they want. Cars go really close to other cars, and to people too, and I don't think pedestrians (necessarily) have the right of way here. Additionally, all the cars are stick shift and are usually older models. My host family doesn't have a car, but the uncle and grandpa do, and you can get everywhere by walking anyway, so it's all good.

Now, about the buses - here, there are some pros and cons.
Cons first: The bus drivers are crazy! Passengers don't have to have exact change, and I never really understood why we need to in the states, but now I do! most of the time while the driver is driving, he is making change or putting bills into the wallet, all while driving stick shift without defined lanes.
Now, the US could learn some things from Argentinian buses, such as that you always exit at the rear door of the bus. This helps people move back and not block the door, and it is usually easier to leave. And, people waiting to get on aren't delayed by people getting off. Also, the seats, at least for my longer-route bus, are very comfy and there are drapes on the windows. And the windows open! (Good in the summer, but bad in the winter...). I think that's pretty much it. Just something I've been thinking about ... as I fall asleep on the bus.

However, I much prefer driving in the States and wouldn't want to even attempt it here :)
