Public Transport is kinda my thing these days. I love seeing all of the different vehicles used in cities around the world. This kind of three-wheeler is called a Tuk Tuk in many parts of the world, including Madagascar. I'm looking forward to seeing these increasingly becoming electric vehicles in coming years.

There's definitely a sense of cheerfulness and motion in the music. I can imagine this music on a public service announcement encouraging people to use Apecars. The music has an urgent "don't panic" feel to it, like when something goes wrong – such as the TV station goes offline – and smiley face comes on the screen with the words "Be Right Back," and this is the music playing on loop while the people at the station are definitely panicking.

I love that the flute is from a guitar synth.

I wonder how many people missed out on seeing the image you uploaded:

Really nice 60s piece. I really liked the flute sound , was this from a Godin guitar thru the GR55 ?
Really good !

well, thanks to you Ted, I have seen it!  This photo reminds me yet again how easy life is in my part of the world.  In Brasil you see trucks loaded and cars with people loaded like this.  As they say "You do what you gotta do"....
although here you would get a ticket for that

cool song.  It is happy and a sense of yes, I need to do something.  could be a game show tune as well...
