Auto rickshaws are ubiquitous in Indian cities and quite popular for cheap short-distance travel. To attract more passengers, auto drivers often decorate their three-wheelers with vibrant colours, witty slogans, or quirky posters. Recently, an X user Tanvi Gaikwad shared an image of a unique auto rickshaw. The three-wheeler had a window attached to one of its sides, leaving Ms Gaikwad pleasantly surprised. While one side of the vehicle remained open for passengers to hop in and out, the other side boasted a flat, glass window, giving the rickshaw a quirky, half-car-like appearance.
''This auto has a window whattt,'' she wrote on X while sharing an image of the autorickshaw.
