Cabs Of the Former British Colonies
The British Empire was vast and included many countries with unique transportation systems. Let’s have a look at a few examples of unusual modes of transportation in some former British colonies.
Rickshaws
A rickshaw is a type of small, two-wheeled cart that is pulled by a person, usually in urban areas. It is a common mode of transportation in India, particularly in cities like Kolkata, Delhi, and Mumbai.
Jeepneys
Jeepneys are popular in the Philippines, particularly in urban areas. The locals have essentially converted jeeps that are decorated with bright colors and artwork and started to serve them as low-cost buses for commuters.
Tuk-tuks
Tuk-tuks are small, three-wheeled vehicles that are commonly used for short trips in Thailand. They are popular with tourists and locals alike.
Matatus
Matatus are small, privately owned minibusses that are used for public transportation in Kenya. They are often decorated with bright colors and graphics, and are a common sight in cities like Nairobi and Mombasa.
Bajaj
Bajaj is a type of three-wheeled vehicle that is commonly used for public transportation in Indonesia. They are similar to tuk-tuks in design, but are larger and have a roof.
