Tuk-tuk

And finally there's the three wheeled tuk-tuk, generically known as an auto rickshaw. These are found all over the world by one name or another. I think the tuk-tuk name comes from the sound made by the undersized 2 cycle engine as it putters along. This sits three passengers. There are fewer and fewer of these on the road here.

I have no idea the cost of a ride in one of these compared to the other options.

What I can tell you is that anyone staying at Indiana House is restricted from riding in a tuk-tuk, a matatu, or on a boda boda. All are considered dangerous by our standards. We can walk or take taxis. Or in our special case, use the hospital bus.
