We took a road trip to Agra
by bus. The trip from Delhi
to Agra is 220 km. Depending on traffic the trip is anywhere
from 3-5 hours.. and as we experienced depends on whether you have to detour or
not. We passed through many rural
villages along the way. In this
particular village, the police official put up a barrier as we approached. Corruption is rampant in India..
It is embedded in their way of life. As
you will see in the video our bus driver is negotiating to let us through. The police official wanted 2000 rupees to let
us pass. We offered 200 rupees. After 5-10 minutes of negotiations, the
police official settled for 300 rupees.
I am having trouble getting the video to work.. Below is a picture of the bribery for now.
