Road courtesy

Getting into traffic near a fare-rich corner is different from getting in at any other part of the thoroughfare.

Passenger utility vehicles compete for fares all the time. They race to get to stops with lots of prospective passengers. They try to outmaneuver each other or cut off the other PUV to find a spot that will give them the most fare.

The trick to get your vehicle filled up with paying commuters is to be at a corner when the light is red "forcing" the driver to stop. That gives them an excuse to load passengers in a no loading area.

To achieve this, drivers tend to dilly-dally when they are approaching a corner with a stoplight. so they get stopped at the right moment -- at the corner where pedestrians abound.

Entering traffic near a corner full of prospective passengers will be to your advantage because PUV drivers will use stopping to let you pass as an excuse to miss the green light and get that coveted spot. :)
