Tuk-tuks: The Compact and Efficient Mode of Transportation When it comes to transportation, people often think of cars, buses, or trains. However, there are other alternative modes of transportation that are prevalent in certain parts of the world, one of which is the tuk-tuk. Also known as auto rickshaws, trishaws, or three-wheelers, tuk-tuks are compact, motorized vehicles commonly seen in Asia and parts of Africa. With their unique design and convenience, tuk-tuks have become a popular choice for short distance travel in urban areas.
