Riding to Ride: Yangon's Circular Train

Life in a day of riding a Burmese local train. Referred to as the circular train, this train circumvents Myanmar’s city of Yangon, shuttling people from small rural villages to the city center. What may seem like a mundane commuter train is a center for witnessing life here. Commerce and exchanges happening in train cars and on platforms, young lovers seeking private moments, Buddhist monks, bare feet, and a lot of gazing out the windowless train.
