  Two items ... All Kolkata (Calcutta), India.    The first dozen are youTube video links.   The tenth one in plain text or in red in rich text format is probably the absolute best because it shows just how bad street congestion can be in India and it will only get worse as their middle class becomes greater and more of them are in automobiles.   
  The second three links are to still pictures taken by Lars Richter on a trip he and Dan Joseph orchestrated in February.   I would have loved to have joined them if it had not been for a cardiac appointment.   On of the members of the Pittsburgh list where this is also going, Dwight Long, was on that trip.

  & passengers riding absolutely anywhere they darn well feel like.)
