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.
