  • Cars are often used as taxis and means of transport in the Congo. In this video you can see from a first-person perspective how a young taxi driver earns his daily bread with his Ford Escort.

    This looks like a hell on Earth. If i were there i would probably escape to the savannah in search of the tribal bushmen so i can live with them instead. Really, chasing gazelles with a spear and a bare butt seems like a better life to losing braincells in the pollution of 100s of old cars for money that can't even pay to fix the car.
    Either way, i am thankful for this rare insight into the daily lives of ordinary Congolese people and i acknowledge the sacrifice of the drivers who are keeping the people fed, literally bringing the food to the markets. Keep up the good work, i am loving the content. Love from Bulgaria 🇧🇬🇧🇬

    What kind of bitter apocalypse am I witnessing here? Poor people, poor country, poor car... The engine is living out its last days, the left mirror is like a consumable, the interior is dead, the windshield is hanging on by a stick, acrid smoke from burning oil pours into the interior. Money for travel, like candy wrappers, carelessly flies into the door niche, because it is worth nothing. The streets are dirty and disorderly. But maybe, despite this, all people are happy? If so, then all of the above is nonsense)

      @@1marcelfilms Petrol in Congo costs $1.5/litre. His car probably uses at least 15l/100km on average (bad roads + nonexistent car maintenance + loaded to the max), which means every kilometer costs him 23 cents in petrol.
      There is no way this is sustainable
      So my guess is stolen/smuggled petrol or some moonshine type home-made stuff

      @@nts_nathaniel Few things here: it looked like each fare was 1000CDF ($0.35) and there were about 6-7 passengers in that car (Say $2ish). Only a couple of KMs travelled so $0.70 fuel cost. = $1.35 gross profit.
      BUT.... if the boot badge is believed, that car was an Escort TD (diesel), and given the smoke, I would say it was running on waste oil of some sort. So the costs could be lower.

    This video generalises Africa. It's like showing a bad part of one country in the whole of Europe and then calling that Europe. South Africa, which is a country in Africa for those who are clueless, is nothing like this. Secondly, this video shows how sad it is in some parts. The Congo is the richest country in the world in terms of resources but because of corruption and the US and European countries stealing the resources via the corrupt govermemt, the country remains poor and the people suffer. It's infuriating. Europe and the US needs to leave Africa alone and stop meddling.
