A rickshaw is a small, lightweight vehicle commonly used for transportation in many countries. It typically has two wheels and is pulled by a person or powered by a small motor. Rickshaws are popular in urban areas due to their ability to navigate through narrow streets and heavy traffic. There are different types of rickshaws, including the traditional cycle rickshaw and the motorized auto rickshaw. They are often used for short distances and are an affordable option for many commuters. Rickshaws contribute to local economies and provide jobs for many drivers.
