Wild Commutes That Make Rush Hour Traffic Look Easy

Narrowest Bridge

The children in Javo, Indonesia risk it all on their way to school. In order to save time crossing the Pepe River, they cross a narrow suspension bridge connecting the Suro village and the Plempungan village. The only problem with this is that the bridge isn't meant to be walked on, it's too narrow! It's actually an irrigation line, but kids use it to cut their travel time in half.
