TAXI
In Managua, there are over 12 000 cabs offering their services. It is not an easy job due to the lack of street names and house-numbers. Here people get orientated through landmarks, and no one knows them better than taxi drivers.
Most vehicules proudly shows on their front-door the cooperation
logo they belong to. Across history books, you can find all of national heroes and many religious figures.
The logos are usually placed by spray with a stencil. There are many places who offer this service for little prices.
