The three-wheeler auto rickshaw, or “tuk-tuk”, is a common sight in India. The green and yellow taxis above are found in Delhi but other regions may have other colors, like black and yellow in Jaipur. Taking a ride in one is something everyone should experience. I crammed into the back with three friends to go back to our hotel one night. The tuk-tuk whizzed in and out of traffic, narrowly missing other vehicles and almost running over pedestrians! And the horn was blaring non-stop. It was a ride none of us would ever forget. The tuk-tuk was originally made for three passengers but I’ve seen many modified versions carrying 12 people!
