Autorickshaw

If you are an Indian,the vehicle displayed below is a very commonly spotted one. Our roads are filled with them. We use them very often. I have seen so many tourists who are fascinated by this three wheeled ride. It is really an experience for them to travel in it. There are a few typical features of an autorickshaw. First, there is the meter which is the most unreliable part. Either it doesnt work and so you have to pay whatever the driver asks for. Or, if it works, it has been tampered with in most of the cases so that you finally end up paying the same amount :P.
Second, the classical rickshaws have this green horn which you have to operate manually. It is a rubber balloon which you need to squeeze to make a sound. Third, there is the wiper. And lastly, the most amusing part.. the messages written on the cover. Many rickshaw walas take pride in decorating their vehicle with various drawings, designs, messages which will tell you " Mera Bhaarat Mahan"...
