Cobbled together ‘autorickshaws’

This autorickshaw has been put together using old engines and gas cylinders. While a normal autorickshaw can seat three people, this vehicle seats seven to eight. Although this unlicenced three-wheeler does not run on Dhaka’s main roads, the transports ply the streets from Basabo to Madartek and Nandipara while putting passengers at risk.
