mototaxi
Three-wheeled cab
A mototaxi is a motorcycle or motorized three-wheeler used as a taxi, common throughout Latin America, Southeast Asia, and parts of Africa.
The passenger rides behind the driver on a two-wheeled motorcycle, or in a covered cabin attached to a three-wheeled vehicle.
Mototaxis navigate congested streets and narrow lanes that conventional taxis cannot access: We took a mototaxi through the old quarter.
