Adoum Oumarou presents his work on the problems of insecurity linked to public transport. Having been eyewitnesses and an actor, he has the concern to tell stories, not sad, but of solidarity and conviviality and sharing as a mode of combat and response to security problems during his various journeys by public transport.

His motivations are therefore centered on facts and actions that have deeply marked him during my many travels.
Much more than a simple means of transport, public transport in Africa is a space for encounters, exchanges and communication.
It focuses on the most frequent aspects outside and inside vehicles such as chats, quarrels, sharing and acts of solidarity between passengers, etc.
