The Auto-Rickshaw Experience

 

It seemed that one of the most popular modes of transport in the cities was via auto-rickshaws, which are essentially 3-wheeled taxis. We didn't take auto rickshaws frequently, since they are really only meant to fit up to 3 people and don't seem like the safest vehicles. (There are no doors or seatbelts, although typical traffic speeds are not high enough to make this a huge concern.) But it was fun to have the experience of riding in one. This is a picture of Chandana peeking out of her rickshaw, taken by me in the one next to her.

I liked the autorickshaws. I definitely liked the fact that they ran on compressed natural gas! I suppose they wouldn't be much fun in the rain though!
