Oxen carts are still widely used in Honduras to transport Leña (firewood) for people to use in their fogons, or traditional stoves. The bus tires show the resourcefulness and ingenuity of Hondurans: through the appropriation of various abandoned tires from dysfunctional transport, one can adapt such resources to another form of transport to make life that much easier. Just because the bus no longer functions does not mean it's part must rust along with it. April 2011
