Auto-rickshaws are the most popular form of public transportation in India and there have been many viral videos featuring them. Most of us use them to go to and from work, school, and college. As a result of their low fares and convenient locations, these transportation options are often used for shorter journeys. Auto-rickshaws are quite popular rides in Soth-east Asia. But these vehicles are not easy to spot in European countries.  

A video of an auto-rickshaw driver in York City, England, giving a student a lift in his three-wheeled vehicle recently went viral on social media.

The video showed the auto rickshaw driver cruising about town to the tune of an Indian song. As stated on his Instagram profile, the video was shot by a student at the University of York originally from Mumbai. More and more buildings and pedestrians may be seen as the film proceeds.

Over 442 people liked the video after it was posted on November 27; several people left comments expressing their joy and amazement.

The clip was shared by the auto-rickshaw driver, who, as per his Instagram post caption, “A decent day to get out in the rickshaw today... was great to meet @kane___25603 and take him for a ride through #York for some #mumbaivibes”
