AUTO THREE WHEELS

Everyday, I go to work by Rickshaw which is not bus or taxi, but its style is similar to cab, as hiring a car and a driver to go to direction.

However, it is cheap, is just Rs.20.
The point what is reason of cheap, because it is Auto- three wheels. Actually, I don’t know how English calls it. So I have no choice, but to call Auto- three wheels.
As you know, three wheels are easy to fall down into ground, because it has only 3 wheels.
I guess it is a big point of reasonable, we bet our life with 3 wheels.

Even though it is cheap, it also has negative points.
It can’t work under big raining, and Rickshaw driver cheats people, and refuses passengers who want to close distance.

I have to be convinced about no working in raining, because its engine seems to come from 30 years ago. But I can’t stand with their cheating.
As India has big population, there are many customers of Rickshaw. Therefore, they just prefer customers who go to far distance for their mater.
What’s more, almost all Rickshaws are not belonged to any corporate. It means they manage by themselves personally. So we don’t have any way to make claim against them.

Therefore, when they find foreigners, they are apt to try to cheat.
I might be seemed a Hollywood star, so they seem to misunderstand that I am rich, but it is totally wrong. I am poor indeed.
They say Rs.100, even though it is Rs.20 truly.
Thus, I always have a big discussion with a Rikishaw driver to discount.

  2. Cool, Philippines have same Auto-three wheels!
    Traycicle, its name makes easy to imagine three wheels and cheap.

    I think number of wheels is related to cost.
    If it is Octcicle, it may be 8 wheels, right?

    If you find such 8 wheels, please report here.

    By the way,
    How was your Moldive, Moltive or Molchive stay?
    Is it have such wheels?
