On the outskirts of Papua New Guinea’s second largest city, a
combination of ten years of neglect and unpredictable weather have
caused the slow and steady deterioration of crucial road sections.
Bus drivers refuse to carry passengers on these roads. It’s
uncomfortable and the wear and tear on their vehicles is an added
burden. They charge three times the legal bus fare.Lae’s petty criminals prey on residents that return home in the afternoon from work, school, or other daily activities.
A large portion of Lae’s estimated 500 thousand people live here and there is a great deal of anger over what they see as government neglect for over a decade.
