Hyderabad from the back seat of a tuc-tuc (auto taxi)

Since the tuc-tuc driver had his music on at full blast most of the time, there's even a built-in soundtrack.




There's a meter in the tuc-tuc, but it's mostly ignored. You just have to negotiate a fair price before you get in.
It's quite common to see whole families ride on the scooter together. In the following video, you can see a child clinging to his mother's neck, behind the father who is steering the scooter through heavy traffic. There is also a woman riding side saddle behind a man, dressed in a sari. Since often scooters are a family's only means of transportation, it's also common to see people, especially women, very dressed up, on the front or back of scooters.
