tuk-tuks
Three-wheeled Asian cabs
Tuk-tuks is the plural of tuk-tuk, a three-wheeled motorized vehicle used as a taxi, common throughout South and Southeast Asia.
The name imitates the sputtering sound of the small engine.
Tuk-tuks weave through traffic in cities like Bangkok and Delhi, carrying passengers and goods short distances: We hired a tuk-tuk to get to the market.
