Скачать или смотреть TRADITIONAL HAND PULL RICKSHAW IN KOLKATA.

A Pulled Rickshaw is a mode of human powered transport by which a runner draws a two-wheeled  cart which seats one or two people.

In recent times the use of human-powered rickshaws has been discouraged or outlawed in many countries due to concern for the welfare of rickshaw workers.Pulled rickshaws have been replaced mainly by cycle rickshaw and auto rickshaw.

The initial rickshaws rode on iron-shod wooden wheels and the passenger sat on hard, flat seats. In the late 19th century and early 20th century, rubber or pneumatic rubber tires, spring cushions and backrests improved the passenger's comfort. Other features, such as lights, were also added.

In the city of Shanghai, public rickshaws were painted yellow to differentiate from the private vehicles of the wealthy citizens.

The rickshaws were a convenient means of travel, able to traverse winding, narrow city streets. During monsoon season, passengers might be carried out of the carriage, above the flooded streets, to the door of their arrival. They offered door-to-door travel, unlike scheduled public bus and tram service.
