4For its size, at 590,000 km2, the country's road infrastructure is antiquated and underdeveloped.Manana velaran-tany 590 000 km2, efa antitra sy tsy misy fivoarana intsony ny foto-drafitrafisan'ny lalana ato amin'ny firenena.

33Traveling across Madagascar through public transportation is still a unique experience.Mbola hafa ihany ny fandehanana mitsidika an'i Madagasikara.
34The most affordable way to travel is via the rural taxi, Taxi Brousse.Amin'ny alalan'ny fiaram-pitaterana “taxi-brousse” eny ambanivohitra no fomba tsotra hivezivezena.
35Taxi Brousse comes in many kinds of vehicles, but mostly as a minivan, as seen on the previous photo.Maro ireo karazana fiara manao “taxi-Brousse”, saingy ny “fiara-salantsalany” no tena maro, araka ny hita tamin'ity sary farany eto ambony ity.

37Ariniaina, a Global Voices author based in Madagascar, pointed out that the legislation has changed in Madagascar regarding rickshaws, but it is still an important means of transportation for many locals:Nanipika i Ariniaina, mpanoratra ato amin'ny Global Voices monina eto Madagasikara fa niova ny lalàna mikasika ny posiposy eto Madagasikara, saingy mbola fitaovam-pitaterana be mpampiasa hoan'ireo mponina marobe ao amin'ny faritra (Antsirabe) izany:
38Rickshaw as a mean of transportation pulled by a human being has been considered a violation of human rights.Nosokajiana ho fanitsakitsahana ny zon'Olombelona ny posiposy izay fitaovam-pitaterana tarihin'olombelona.
39So the Commune [city hall] of Antsirabe [the second largest city in Madagascar] launched the “cyclopousse” - a rickshaw pulled by a bike.Ka nanao ny “cyclopousse”-posiposy tarihim-bisikileta ny fiadidian'ny tanàna [lapan'ny tanàna] ao Antsirabe [tanàn-dehibe faharoa eto Madagasikara].
40Yet, “traditional” rickshaws are still the main transportation for many Antsirabe residents.Na dia izany aza, mbola fitaovam-pitaterana fampiasan'ireo mponina marobe ao Antsirabe foana ny posiposy “nentim-paharazana”.

43Public transportation is trying to catch up with the rapid evolution of the fast-growing Malagasy population, but given the important economic constraints, it's to be expected - at least for a little while.Miezaka manatratra ny fitombon'ny mponina ny fitaterana iraisam-bahoaka, fa noho ny fisian'ny fetra ara-toekarena, dia antenaina haharaka izany - na dia ao anatin'ny fotoana fohy aza aloha.
