Tuesday Photo Challenge – Transport

Welcome to week 195 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge! As I am traveling in India for work at the moment, there will be a round up delay for last week. Apologies for that.

As I am in India, I’ve gotten to experience a different mode of Transport, while I’m here: the tuk-tuk. This transport is a 3-wheeled version of the erstwhile rikshah that is driven by a small motor power by CNG (Compressed Natural Gas). The tuk-tuks are everywhere in Pune and a fun way to get around in very busy traffic, so I thought transport might be a good theme.

Your challenge is to share some of your favorite modes of transport, some of which I hope will be a bit unusual (penny-farthing, anyone?) I look forward to seeing your thoughts on this one!

Here’s the view from the backseat of a tuk-tuk…

I will share a video from our ride in this tuk-tuk, as traffic is something else here!

The full rules of this challenge are in TPC Guidelines, but here’s the tl;dr:

  • Write a post with an image for this week’s topic
  • Please tag your post with fpj-photo-challenge (if you’re not sure about how tags work, please check out this WordPress article about tagging posts)
  • Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week (note: pingbacks may not appear immediately, as my site is set up to require approval for linking to it; helps against previous bad experiences with spamming)
  • Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!

Looking forward to see where and how you were transported!

    Frank, a great topic and image again!!!! Never been in a tuk-tuk, even if I been in Bangkok. They are getting very popular all over the world now. As you rightly say … they are easy in busy traffic. I’m a taxi girl.

    Never tried that! Looks fun!

  30. […] Rainy view out the window of our ferry to the Aran Island of Inisheer, the Queen of Aran. (Ireland)The Queen of the North ferry departs from Prince Rupert at 6 o’clock in the morning, a little too early for some passengers including me. If I had thought about it I would have bundled up in a sleeping bag too.The ferry on Inle Lake was smaller than we expected and somehow we had to get our bikes on there too! (Myanmar)One of the free ferries that cross the river in Amsterdam, packed with passengers, bikes and the occasional scooter (Holland).Waiting to arrive on the ferry to Port Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, USA. The Harbour Ferry in Victoria on Vancouver Island, Canada. It’s a tad crowded on a Bangkok ferry that goes up and down the Chao Phraya River as part of the city’s well-used public transportation system. Even this ferry worker is wearing the yellow and blue of the Swedish flag. More of Frank’s Photo Challenge: Transport.

    Spacious for one but noisy for everyone!

    This is what tuk-tuk in India and rickshaw in Pakistan are all about 🙂

    All tourists call it a tuk tuk. Why? Indians call it an auto (short for auto-rickshaw).

    Let me float this idea: https://anotherglobaleater.wordpress.com/2019/12/30/backwaters-by-boat/

    1. jansenphoto Avatar

      I suspect it’s due to the sound…some of my Indian friends call it a tuk tuk, so I used the more romantic version; didn’t mean to offend.

        Not offended. Just curious. Thanks

        I wonder whether your friends are code switching when they call it a tuk tuk.
