hahaha yes, in these kinds of situations you have to laugh before you cry 😂
as I said in the post, these bikers are not very "legals" so they don't have any apps or anything, they just wait around bus stops and other places.
And for the public transportation. There's transportation companys in here call "lineas" which each one have a number assigned and a rute for them to follow anyone who has the money to buy a bus can associate with one of this companys and start to work as a transport, they own the buses, and they decided what to charged. The government has virtually no control over them
Well.. it is something like free riders services in my country, in my hometown Aceh we call them "RBT" a short for Rakyat Banting Tulang or Hardworking Society, and in my new domicile now we called them "Ojek Pangkalan" or awaited free riders just like in your country😂 but we have another online riders too something like "uber" if you ever heard it.
About the bus😯 it's a bit strange if government has no control on them, the charge will be too expensive for passengers. We have national private company that run the public transportation and other private tranportation company that follow the government policy about the charges.
No wonder why you said that you'll never get on the moto-taxi with driver who probably a valentino rossi or Marc Marquez fans😆
