In Kolkata with this transportation known as the "Rickshaw puller" you simply don't need oil or engine. it works with the help of person pulling it, while the customers sitting behind. Most of the people staying there prefer to use this as it is not fast but it is easier to go into a narrow Vally's and you can easily escape free from the traffic jam's. This transportation would be known as the cheapest, safest and environment friendly transportation.

There has been a section of people out to ban them claiming it is "inhuman" , I dont really care for opinion of those sit in their plush air conditioned offices , it is easy to pass judgments on a full stomach for there is nothing more inhuman in this world than a starving child.
