Dont believe that communist propaganda . We all know what big tuk-tuks do, and they always end up with small baby tuk-tuks.

You don't say! I had always believed they grow on trees.

I much prefer the old moto-pulled trailer style tuk-tuks over these Indian style ones, but the Indian style ones are so much cheaper via the apps, even though most of the apps offer the old style tuk-tuks they are rarely available.

I'm quite sure you can still order the old style tuk-tuks on some of the apps. I did it not so long ago when I had a puncture on my bike while far away from home and knew it wouldn't fit in one of the small white ones. Can't remember which company I used though.

I think in 2019i spoke to one of the tuktuk-guys who always are outside Sharkys, i told me he paid together with his brother 1800 US and to have a decend motobike with a decend trailer behind, it would be 1000 more. And the main reason he changed, was the LPG it running on, which is much cheaper than the useal petrol. Thats why they ofcourse can run cheaper then the old tuktuks, and the platforms get maybe 15% from them, but its worth it, the old guys will lose all the customers if they dont modernise to the apps, its the 20th century. And ofcourse the constant hassle about price with the tuktuk-drivers is past sense, i usually ask to the tuktuks, do you run for same price as pass-app, if they do, they know i know the price already, if not, next one !!

Yes they are offered on most of the apps, like I said in my comment, but rarely are any actually available as many of the drivers of the old style tuk tuks are not signed up to the rideshare app companies.

I haven't caught up with modern technology so am still using the App where you stand on the side of the road and stare at the tuk-tuk you want with one finger up in the air. It's eco friendly and always works.
