I fiafia (like) aiga buses

"Blessings," we have many.

"Praise The Lord" written on the side of the bus.

Many Samoans take aiga buses as their mode of transportation. They are owned, decorated, and operated by families and villages.

We went on board to visit this friendly bus driver. He willingly let us take his photo.

Families remember their loved ones by displaying them on their bus.

This skeleton bus is still around for all to remember it's better days.

This is a good reminder.

Look at those doors!

The messages are great.

What a handsome bus driver.

Notice the painting.

The buses travel the entire 5 mile by 25 mile island.

I like the colors.

Fetu Mai Sisifo (Star from the west)

Tama ole Vaiaisa (Boy of ice water)

During the peak times of the day, many are full.

Pisisami (Ocean breeze)

What color, saying, and picture would you paint on your bus?

Tautua (Serve) Samoa

Motu o Fiafianga (Island of Happiness)

This bus is owned by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints

We took these photos over several months. Good thing for digital pictures. Many were deleated. It's hard to pass a bus without wanting to take it's picture. I think I have enough. You don't want to know how many I didn't publish on the blog.
