> leave when full" minibuses in the 3rd world

that's an awesome, albeit impractical idea. I can just picture a surly captain chewing through a bag of rambutans he bought on the tarmac while he waits until there are enough people to make it worth his while to take off while his helper abruptly stops selling tickets and disappears into the nearest bar for half an hour.




Not to mention taxiing the plane around town shouting "Las Vegas Las Vegas Go Now! Go Now!"


Or he lands somewhere not on the schedule in the middle of the flight and a lady with her goat gets on and has a ticket for your seat, making you stand next to the toilet for the remainder of the flight.

(true story; chicken bus, not plane)
