Hi Francois,

I will trya and get pictures of a cycle rickshaw and autorickshaw. Meanwhile you could try and search on google images. I am sure you’ll find them there. About public transport, cities do have public transport like busses and trains. Bombay, the city where I live has a very efficient network of busses and trains.

Hello

I have read your post about cycle rickshaws. This gives me the impression that there a a lot more of them than autorickshaws in Indian cities. I am interested in this question because I am writing an English course for French students, who don’t have any idea of what a rickshaw is, and they have a text mentionning them in Mumbai, but no picture of them (and it’s not translatable in French either). The text tells about noise and pollution, of course it is about autorickshaws then. But I would like the students know about the two kinds of rickshaws : the one with a motor and the one with a man pedalling.

Do you have photographs of rickshaws ? I could reprint them in my course and have them comment on the two pictures. And as my document seems to imply that there are no public transports like buses enven in large cities, could you tell me if this is true ? We always give our students a biased picture of India, with saris, gurus,rickshaws (!) children
begging on the street, sacred cows (forgive the order). I’d like to show a picture of a bus, too…
