Trishaw - old fashion ride (journey)
23:20
At first my partner, Hui minh want to make trishaw as our heritage icon. A trishaw is a hybrid of the tricycle and the rickshaw. It is often used as a local means of transport, often to carry passengers on a for hire basis. They come in two different versions:
- Auto rickshaw, a motorized trishaw
- Cycle rickshaw, a pedal-powered trishaw
but Penang only have cycle trishaw which is pedal-powered trishaw
There are about 200 trishaw in Penang which are mostly scattered around Georgetown area. Penang trishaw comes in many names, Rickshaw, trishaw, taxicab or locally referred to as beca.
The price of using a beca in Penang varies from about RM 15 to about RM 30 per hour.
