Zawarib: A Mapping Revolution

STRESSED about driving into Hamra in this rain, traffic anger & parking drama? WHY NOT take the bus? For just LL1,000, ease into your seat, catch up on your reading, make those important phone calls, observe your fellow passengers' outfits, gadgets or body shape, interact with them on state of traffic / bus driver / day ahead, or simply observe those fine details of building facades and shops that you never had time to see because you were too busy dodging other drivers on the road! And then get dropped off, take a brisk walk to your destination, take in the smell of the morning Man'ousheh, arriving to your destination in true style... What finer way to start your Beiruti day.
