A Chicken Bus is the English word for a colorfully decorated school bus that carries goods and people between communities in Guatemala. There are two theories about why it is called a “chicken bus”. The first is that it refers to the fact that rural Guatemalans regularly transport live animals on such buses. Another is that people cram themselves into the bus like chickens smashed into a coop.

The buses are a matter of local pride in Guatemala. The tourist destination of Antigua is a major hub where many routes cross. Each bus is painted vibrantly with its name and permanent route. Buses are stuffed with passengers (whenever possible) and then hard-driven to their destinations at top speed.
