I had been wondering for a while where the minivans with the window-signage saying Rijarbha (रिजार्भ) were actually going. I hadn’t been able to find Rijarbha on any maps of Kathmandu and the minivans never seemed to stop to take on passengers.
(And as anyone who knows the completely mercenary approach taken by most minivan drivers and conductors in the this fine city will tell you, that’s just odd. I’ve been one of a crowd of 27 people in a minivan that had seating capacity of 14…)
But for the first time today I worked out why they won’t stop for passengers. And why I’ll never get to find out where they are going. Because they are rijarbha. Just not rijarbha for me.
