Wait, I thought the tri-cycles were cycle rickshaws. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycle_rickshaw

Now those babies will get you through all the back-alleys and streets in no time. The only problem would be mounting their camera on it. I think they ve solved harder problems.

IIRC, what they call auto (or auto rikshaw) is the motorized rikshaw. Both are tri-cycle.

Yes, they're called auto/auto rickshaw. In some parts of the country, autos (drivers) are notorious for their road navigation skills.
