Guatemala City Busdrivers get Bum Deal

Gang Cartels have taken over from Military and Guerilla warfare to continue to make Guatemala a somewhat dangerous place to raise your kids. A popular target in the capital are busdrivers, who must pay a lot of money to local gangs in order to freely manuever their bus routes. When they don´t, they often get shot, which, for a pretty thankless job in the first place seems pretty crap.
