Trickshaws in Dhaka



Nowhere else you can see so many trishaws as in the capital Bangladesh, Dhaka. They carry people and cargoes there, they work as garbage trucks and school buses. They block the roads, there are hundreds of thousands of them here. They create serious traffic jams. The situation is only made simpler by the prohibition for trishaws on the main city roads. Let's look at this cycling hell. 

01. Trickshaws stand before traffic lights making traffic rather slow.
02. School cycling bus 03. Trickshaws stand near the hospital. A ticket costs not more than a dollar for 5 km. 04. 05. Six fridges on a bicycle? No problem! 06. 07. 08. Garbage trickshaw 09. 10. The brighter a trickshaw is, the more its owner earns. 11. 12. 13. 14. Trickshaws are forbidden to go to some streets. This is an evacuator, it takes trickshaws of violators away and bring them to a parking penalty zone. 15. Loudspeaker trickshaw
