Thanks FN for the Pic http://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/2642196864/
I remember travelling in this type of vehicle. We called it carrier (Karier or Kareth). It was so low that even children could not travell standing. One of the popular owners of the Karier was 'Burkulo' ( I m sure our Lapit will remember it too) and the rout was Velsao-Cansaulim-Utorda-Majorda-Nuvem-Margao.. Around late 60's This vehicle was replaced by big nose type single door buses 'dodge' co. Which required a 'Z' shape handle to start it's machine. Bus cleaner would do it from the front of the bus (externally). These were then replaced by Ashok layland and Tata buses with flat front and more sitting capacity like 56 seating and 22 standing. Fare was 4 anas (24p) to Margao The pic has brought back my memories. Thanks again === I was about 20 then. ==== Quote: [Goanet] A caminhao ... from Colvale (circa 1972) Frederick [FN] Noronha * फ्रेडरिक नोरोन्या fredericknoronha at gmail.com Mon Jul 7 02:25:45 PDT 2008 http://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/2642196864/ == [EMAIL PROTECTED] for Goa & NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ For Goan Video Clips http://youtube.com/joeukgoa __________________________________________________________ Not happy with your email address?.
