Auto rickshaw is my name
In Asia, I'm of great fame
I'm also seen in Africa
Italy, South America!
A three-wheeler or a baby-taxi
A tuk-tuk or a motor-taxi
I'm known by many different names
And may look different or quite the same
My front seat is for a driver
My rear seat is for passengers
I can seat as many as three
But a six-seater I may also be!
I run on petrol, diesel, gas
A meter I may or may not have
I may or may not have any doors
Just pull my curtains when it pours!
Hire me for a nice, quick ride
When the bus simply doesn't arrive
When you are too tired to walk
Or you need to rush to the doc!
On wide roads or in narrow lanes
I ride happily and don't complain
Ride me to the market, office or school
Let in the air when it's fresh and cool!
Ride me anytime, anywhere
But don't forget to pay the fare
