Bajaj auto

I was very surprised to learn about the existence of the 3 wheeled auto rickshaws / tuk-tuks in Peru. You will not find them in Lima Centro or the posh Miraflores area. However , if you venture out to one of the lesser affluent areas like San-Miguel or Magdalena, you can find them. Our driver Juan was telling me that they are made by Bajaj, the Indian manufacturer who makes these in India and assembles them in Peru. Unlike the Indian version, though, these have doors. They were are marked CNG, indicating that they run on natural gas. They all these things "mu-autto".

    Doors are a good concept. Would be useful especially during the monsoon in India. Probably will reduce the number of people you can cram in though.
    This is interesting keep it up.
