Default Transport in India - Local transport - Autorickshaws

An auto rickshaw (auto or rickshaw or tempo in popular parlance) is a
three wheeler vehicle for hire. They typically have no doors or
seatbelts. They are generally yellow or green in colour and have a
black or green canopy on the top. An auto rickshaw is generally
characterized by a tin/iron body resting on three small wheels (one in
front, two on the rear), a small cabin for the driver in the front and
seating for three in the rear. Their design varies considerably from
place to place. In some locations, they have an extra plank on the
seat to accommodate a fourth passenger. Hiring an auto often involves
bargaining with the driver.

In some cities like New Delhi, there are larger autos called fat-fat,
which is an onomatopoeic derivation of the phut-phut crackle of their
exhausts. These run on fixed routes on fixed fares and are very fuel
efficient. Only six passengers are allowed legally but they usually
take as many as ten adults. These autos are the new incarnation of old
fat-fats, which were Harley-Davidson and similar powerful motorcycles
modified by removing the rear wheel and bolting a two-wheeled platform
with bench seats onto the rear. These types of transport no longer
exist in Delhi. In some regions they are called put-puts or Tuk-Tuks.
