Driving in Chennai has been a challenge, especially while driving my scooter. Most car drivers consider two wheeler, a nuisance they have to deal with on the road. Two wheelers include motorbikes(mostly 100- 250 cc), scooters which make up for more than 70 % of the vehicles on the road. The Autorickshaw is a motorised version of traditional rickshaw and is probably the most common mode of hired transportation in Indian cities. Its not the most comfortable ride , but widely available and for extra payment would be willing to take as many as 4 or 5 adults. Its quite common to see 8-10 school children travelling together in a single autorickshaw, after school returning home. There a picture of Ashwin/Priya going to school in an auto before we bought the scooter. In the other pics Ashwin and Priya were going to a mall called the Spencer's Plaza with their cousins.
