I don't know if you'll ever see this, but... what is the price for one of the taxi-rickshaws? I'm really curious about costs around the world.

1 USD ~ 100 PKR. Minimum wage is 10k PKR and typical college educated people earn 20k on their first job.

So minimum bus/van/route-rickshaw fare is 15 PKR. Might have gone up to 20 PKR since I was home. Max goes up to about 50-60 PKR. (you pay for how far you want to go).

taxi-rickshaws can cost anywhere from 30 PRK (1 km) to 600 PKR cross city (20-30). Depends on from where to where you are going, time of the day, and your ability to haggle.
