A Velo Taxi in Japan
A primitive Rickshaw in Asia
This is a simple tricycle kind of vehicle which is rode by a "Velo Driver" and can accommodate max two passengers. This is being promoted as a "GREEN" option for traffic. After the ride they give you a receipt which shows how much is the charge of that ride and how much CO2 would have been emitted if you opted for a automobile like taxi or car. The company which operates these taxis have glamorized this concept and sell ads on the taxi's outer surface. The passenger pay for the ride feeling that they are contributing to the mother nature and the companies pay for the ads making their brand more appealing to the customers and ensuring their support to greener future.
At the other hand ,in the interview with Taxi and bus drivers, they express that it causes traffic jams because of its slow speed.
