So when I crossed a small road on my first day in the city was surprised because I heard a bell not a hom. It was a timy man puling a rickshaw. He stopped and picked up two children from the front door of their house and then, with great apital strength, pulled them to school For many people the rickshaw is a symbol of Kolkata and they have many adwantages. When the traffic is bad, rickshaws find through the traffic if you miss your bus and there aren't any taxis, you can always find a rickshaw in Kolkata Rickshaws are also very popular with local shoppers. The driver takes you from your house to the market and waits for you. Then he loads all your purchases, drops you off outside your home and helps you unload No other type of public transport offers this kind of service.
