Riding a Cheap Bamboo Train Until a Big Train Comes
In this episode on Tekniq, we see two transportation methods: one to transport passengers on the rail in Cambodia and the other to transport drinking water to rural parts of the Philippines. Let's see how bamboo trains in Cambodia use the rail tracks to become an attraction for tourists. Additionally, we'll explore the genius tactics of two local boys to move around using a Kariton cart.

@@HemiJoel Yep, and how many years and how much investment was needed? Those guys made that cart from scrap in few hours. I assume that you do not understand the power of capital and good administration. You need both to have a good infrastructure. An by the way of pipes. I remember some initiative of some westerners to help some african villagers. They ”invented” a selftransporting barrel. Actually a barrel with ballbearings at ends, that was dragged by dragging it. better than transporting the water on the heads as villagers did. But the method was stupid and wasteful. Barrels needed to be thicker to resist on road, and hence expensive. And even more expensive because they overcharged, funds being raised through donations. All that plastic could be used simpler as a pipe, resist much longer. And even pumping by hand, would have used a lot less human energy. But that thing looked like a scam. An cheap and efficient system could not bring asa much funds to the scammers.

It looks like truck drivers know what is going on and they tacitly do cooperate. And how the bamboo train doesn't derail?
The engineer wears flip flops, stretch pants and uses a starting cord with a rough spot that seems like it should break. Two guidelines for steering. Ingenious. Cars just pass on the right on the shoulder … the “safer” way. There are dangers involved but everybody makes it. Yes … better than a first class walk. My video of the day. THANKS EVERYBODY! 🎉

Give them another 70 years and all of that stuff will be illegal. I am 81 and I remember when I was young we kids would be pulled behind the truck on roller skates, wagons, or sleds in the winter when the roads were covered in snow. We would also ride in the back of pickup trucks. Nobody worried about the kid crushing their skull, people had large families and they figured they could always have a replacement kid in 9 months.
