How Would You Like To Travel?

We have all heard 'When in Rome do as the Romans'. But to give it a twist in the modern era, we can change it to ‘When in Britain do as Indians do’.

After exporting chicken tikka masala, bollywood, Indian fashion our latest exports seem to be Indian modes of transport.

First were the auto rickshaws which became hugely popular in Brighton and a sleeker version in London. Popularly known as ‘tuc tucs’ they seem to have become the latest rage.

Then came th majestic looking Ambassadors, a British version of them will be launched soon.

And now Scottish students are discovering the ‘virtues of sustainable travel’ in a cycle rickshaw.

I am wondering - what next? Maybe bullock carts? J
