It Happens Only in India - Carrying a 330 pound bike on head

This guy here is a Coolie (Luggage carrier) at bus station Bangalore(India), Kalasyapalya bus stop (City market) who usually carry luggage to/from the bus.Volvo busses carry 2 wheelers as well from place to another.

Please take few seconds to think how they carry 2 wheelers to the bus?

Most of the times they carry it in the box located under the bus…and if the box is full some times they carry the vehicle to top of the bus.

Without scrolling down, can someone guess how they carry the vehicle????


Few facts:

Weight of the 150 CC Bike is around 330 lbs

The cost of the Volvo side glass cost about 500-700 USD

The cost of the vehicle is 1800 USD

After seeing the above effort that he has made do you guys know how much is he charging?? Just 0.5 USD/-

Does he deserve just 0.5???
