Execution

To get motorists to wear their seat belts, we used the help of people who spent a lot of time at traffic signals- hijras (Indian transgenders) Indian transgenders are not like their counterparts elsewhere in the world. Indians consider them sacred, touched by god, and their blessings are considered auspicious. That's why many of them make their living exchanging blessings for cash at traffic signals. We got hijras to deliver a seat belt safety briefing to motorists at traffic signals. Except, we got them to do it in the same way flight attendants would deliver a flight safety briefing.
