Driver staring ahead while holding wheel — Shot in the city of Bago, Myanmar

The place on the edge of the arterial roadway seemed to be a bus stop. The truck-like buses came here and stopped frequently. As soon as they stopped, the passengers started to clamber abroad. And the buses left the place with a flurry of activity. The city of Bago is the capital of the Bago Region and its population is over 280,000. The city center is bustling.

The man in this photo was a driver of one of the local buses. Like other buses, he stopped his vehicle by the roadside and waited for a while. The standing time was his little break time. During the passengers got in or out of his bus, he seemed to experience a feeling of weakness. He stared ahead while holding the steering wheel to leave the bus stop at any given moment.
