Standing around, doing nothing?
Bit short of a dollar?
How about directing traffic?
That’s what the locals do. Mostly local guys between about 18-25, they stand in the middle of the road, or at intersections where people would otherwise not get into or across the stream of traffic, put their hands up and stop the traffic – and everyone tends to obey them – in the local half pushy, half time will wait manner.
In return about 50% of the time most drivers will wind down their windows and handover a coins – remembering the biggest coin is worth about 6 cents – and the smallest about 0.6 cents. These part time traffic directors take particualr care of buses – most of which have “conductors” (I’m not sure -there’s no uniform and they could be doing a similar made up job) hanging out the back door. The conductors make sure people get on and off (an achievment given there are no formal bus stops) and also hand over coins to the traffic guys.
