Transport in India _ no limit can be carried

foreword

When I was a sophomore and junior year, I participated in the activities organized by the church, the main content of which was a visit to the North Indian church and gospel sharing, which lasted about two weeks. At that time, I went there during the winter vacation and the Spring Festival. This is also the most suitable season for people in India. I heard that in summer, India can be hot to 40 or 50 degrees. This was the first time I went abroad with my church friends. With both anticipation and fear of being hurt, I went to India, an ancient and mysterious country with a population of more than one billion.

noisy road

There are no traffic signs in many parts of India. The traffic rule here is to see who is louder, so the horn is an indispensable tool. Sitting in the car, the horn can be heard all the way: Pah! Bah! Bah!

I always use the horn sound carefully in Taiwan. I only use it when a car (person) suddenly rushes out, the road is narrow and the car needs to be met, or when I drive a mountain road, I need to remind the car behind the mountain wall to use it. The sound of horns on the roads in India is continuous, and the sound of horns seems to the driver to declare the right of way, just like when the elephant herd finds the animals blocking the path, it makes a low roar one after another.

No limit can be loaded

The most common means of transportation in India is not a car or a motorcycle, but a motor tricycle Auto

Why is this "car" so popular? I think the main reason is because of its mobility and "cargo" capacity.

The tricycle's small size makes it ideal for drilling around in gaps between vehicles and fauna. The car is open and ventilated on all sides except for the canopy above. (The car I was in at the time was of this style, and some cars only drove left and right.) When driving fast and turning left and right, I could feel the speed of the wind. When it was about to hit the car and suddenly turned away, the whole person's heart beat faster, which was thrilling. Well worth the experience.

When it comes to cargo capacity, ordinary passenger cars can't compete with it at all. Not only can people squeeze in the middle, but they can also stand on it while holding the crossbar on the left and right, and once the driver gave me a seat, I just sat directly on it. beside him.

Please be careful

The local uncle told us that it is very dangerous for women not to sit near the outside when taking the Auto, and they may be pulled off if they are not careful. Although we have not encountered or seen it, we are still careful and follow it.

Usually we go out on Auto with a local escort to communicate with the driver in Hindi, or sometimes ask them to agree a price first, and we just follow the route to our destination.
