rickshaw
Human-powered taxi
A rickshaw is a small passenger vehicle pulled by a person on foot or pedaling a bicycle.
The two-wheeled cart originated in Asia and remains common in parts of India, China, and Southeast Asia.
Cycle rickshaws, with the driver pedaling in front, have spread to tourist areas worldwide.
We took a rickshaw through the old quarter.
