How much would you pay

...to get a seat in the 16-person minibus? You could wait for the next one--30 minutes later, but the next one could be full the next time it comes. You could walk 7 mins to the main street and wait between 10 and 30 mins for another minibus. (I waited for 15 mins and watched two full ones pass by...although the third came a few mins afterwards.) It could also be hot and/or rainy. Not to mention mosquitoes and other lovely bugs.

How much would you pay the first guy in the line? How much would you offer the 16th person?

Better question is how much would you take as the first guy in line? You could've been waiting for 15 mins already. How much would you take as the 16th person who isn't guaranteed a seat and you had just gotten in line? (the ride cost HK$6.60 which is less than US$1.00)
