In India, auto rickshaws are the most common means of transportation and most of us rely on them to travel to our offices, schools and colleges. The mode of transport is popular for short distance travel as they are cheaper and easily accessible. However, spotting an auto rickshaw abroad is quite rare. Recently, a video went viral on social media, showing an auto rickshaw driver giving a student in York City, England, a lift in his three-wheeled vehicle.
The clip was shared by the auto rickshaw driver, who, according to his Instagram Bio, “landed in York – all the way from Bombay!” The video’s caption read, “Have a good day getting in the rickshaw today…was great meeting @kane___25603 and taking him for a ride around #York for some #mumbaivibes”.

In the video, the driver was seen driving around the city in his auto rickshaw while an Indian song was played inside. The clip was filmed by a University of York student who is originally from Mumbai, according to his Instagram bio. As the video progresses, one can see different buildings and other people walking on the sidewalk.
The video, shared on Nov. 27, garnered over 440 likes and several comments, with users expressing their delight and amazement. The student who filmed the video also commented on the video
saying, ”Thanks so much for the ride again brother. ”
A user wrote “Next level” with two fire emojis. Another commented, “Ahh, I would sit back and listen to Amit Kumar’s ‘Main Jis din bhula doon’. A therapeutic drive and experience I can imagine.” A third jokingly wrote, “Brother, how much does it cost to go to Bandra station?”
This is not the first time the racing driver has shown his driving skills on the streets of England. In fact, his Instagram page is full of photos and videos capturing his incredible journey. In November, he had shared another video of him driving his car through the streets of York City. He captioned the video as ”Enjoying a ride on this rather autumnal night in the city of York, UK… Feel the #Bombay vibes.”
A few days ago, he shared a photo of his auto rickshaw standing on the street in York city, with York Minster in the background.
He captioned it as, ”It’s almost freezing today, but #York is even more beautiful in winter, with its majestic architecture. #yorkminster looks fantastic both day and night.”
