Overloading motorcycle "back-rides" in Northern Samar

Due to poor road conditions (or no roads at all) in many towns in Northern Samar, motorcycle "back-rides" has become very popular in many areas. Back-riding is taking one or more passengers to ride at the back of a motorcycle (without a side car) for a fare. Taking up to 4 passenger is very common. This form of transportation would allow people to go to far places faster without the use of 4-wheeled vehicles, or to places where using larger vehicles is not an option. A very fun but otherwise dangerous alternative to just plain walk.
