Seventeen People In A Minivan

My new favorite mode of public transportation is--by far--the mini-bus. Five rand ($0.70) per ride, and you never have to wait on the street for more than ten seconds before one of those white vans drives by with a guy sticking his head out the window, whistling and shouting at you to offer you a lift.

So, how many people can you fit into a twelve-person mini-bus? The answer appears to be seventeen. That's t when the wing-man (the guy who hangs out the window and shouts out the bus's destination) sits on the lap of one of his customers.
