Answer 4

I couln't think of any transport starting with "O", so here is my entry for "P"

Pesero.

According to wikipedia: A pesero is a form of public transport, most commonly seen in Mexico City. Its name derives from the fact that the first incarnations of this form of transport charged a flat fee of one peso per ride (hence the name "pesero" which could be interpreted as "peso collector").

Wikipedia is close. It's" Pesera." Peseros are the taxi cabs that used to run the length of Paseo de la Reforma in the 60s and 70s. They were 1 peso and shared by passengers - much safer than today's Peseras mugrosas. - 005faa61, FEB 1, 2010

peseras is also fish tank, they really look fish tank with all the poeple thru the glass. - juluque, FEB 1, 2010

I lived in Mexico City from 1979 to 1987; I remember, at least once I rode on one of those peseros, the shared cabs. What I used a lot were the combis. - Shrek, FEB 1, 2010
