Auto rickshaws, also known as three-wheelers, are a popular mode of transport in India. Many people rely on it for commuting or going to college. However, it is rare to find this vehicle in the United States. Recently, a user took to social media and shared a video of a black and yellow auto rickshaw on the streets of California.
Manohar Singh Rawat captioned the video as, “Auto Rikshaw in California. #artesia.” Since the video was shared, it has amassed over eight lakh views and 22,000 likes on the platform.
Watch the video below:
“Much needed public transportation in the USA!!” one user commented.
Another user wrote: “I was in Artesia yesterday and they were parked outside the Pioneer Cash & Carry store for people to take pictures!!!”
“HOW DID I MISS THIS,” another person added.
“Saw it yesterday on Pioneer Blvd. Had to look twice,” said one Instagram user.
A fifth user added, “If that rickshaw comes from Bangalore, he charges one and a half meters.”
“Omg are you guys crazy,” one user commented.
“The only thing missing is a cycle rickshaw,” one user joked.
Someone wrote: “Cali people think it's some kind of new luxury ride. This guy could make money from Uber now”
“I had already seen cars in Britain… But now also in Cal!! Absolutely, Indians are everywhere,” said an Instagram user.
Meanwhile, in an unusual move, British police announced that tuk-tuks will be used in their fight against crime in 2022. Gwent Police added a fleet of four tuk tuks in a bid to combat crime. Police in Wales said the tuk-tuks will be used “day and night” by officers and ambassadors in Newport and Abergavenny to patrol parks, walkways and other public areas. The speed of the vehicles is limited to 55 kilometers per hour. Police officials said these tuk-tuks will be used as 'safe spaces' where crimes can be reported, help sought and crime prevention advice given.
