Description
Georgetown Trishaw – Georgetown, 2023
A traditional three-wheeled pedicab – a bicycle taxi also known as trishaw, cycle rickshaw or ‘beca’ in Malay – fitted with an umbrella to keep the driver dry during rainy season bathes in red light on the streets of the heritage town of Georgetown, Malaysia.
Fun fact: the word rickshaw is derived from the Japanese word ‘jinrikisha’ (jin = man, riki = power and sha = carriage).
