Here is another post on the subject of the various modes of transport to be found here in the Middle Kingdom, this time it is a taxi.
These come in a number of configurations, but are all basically the same, a three wheel motor bike - very small engine as far as I can see. This is the Luxury version, in which the passenger(s) sit in amazing luxury inside, as does the proud owner/driver of the taxi.
The passengers (they can take two people) sit in the back, facing backwards, by the way.
These things pootle around the city picking up fares where ever they can find them. I find them rather alarming as they seem to me to be inherently unstable, tall and narrow as they are. Though to be honest, I have never seen one lying forlornly on its side by the road, so perhaps my feelings about their stability is wrong.
Anyhow, that is about all there is to say about them, so, here are two pictures of one parked near where I live.
CHARMING LITTLE THING, AINT IT?
