Transportation In
Arab Countries
Rev. David E. Strong described
transportation in Turkey and other Arab countries as a huge mixture of ancient and ultra modern
means. Buses range from double
decker modern ones to English
and German makes, 12 passenger
carry-alls, and taxis range from
modern cabs to any kind of vehicle that will run, and all equipped with raucous horns which
toot 24 hours a day. Even horse
drawn cabs are used.
The traffic is apparently unregulated and one sees, said Rev.
Strong, everything from the most
modern makes of foreign cars,
down to mostly 1950-60 mnriels of
American cars, jalopy types. And
mixed in the hubbub are camels
and"donkeys" and NOISE. "The
Tootin1 Turks" is a phrase coined
by foreigners.
People and that includes children dodge in and out, also animals, dogs, goats, etc.
The trains are mostly narrow
gauge, antiquated and unreliable."
AMine-traffic, outside of TWA,
Pan American and Middle Eastem Lines run on erratic schedules.
While traveling
Rev. Strong
said it was difficult to put in a
scheduled appearance at any
chosen location.
