"So when I crossed a small road on my first day in the city, I was surprised because I heard a bell – not a horn. It was a tiny man pulling a rickshaw. He stopped and picked up two children from the front door of their house and then, with great strength, pulled them to school. For many people, the rickshaw is a symbol of Kolkata and they have many advantages. When the traffic is bad, rickshaws find a way through the traffic. If you miss your bus and there aren’t any taxis, you can always find a rickshaw in Kolkata. Rickshaws are also very popular with local shoppers. The driver takes you from your house to the market and waits for you. Then he loads all your purchases, drops you off outside your home and helps you unload. No other type of public transport offers this kind of service.
You also see lots more people getting on and off rickshaws during the monsoon season. That’s the period from June to September when Kolkata gets heavy rainfall. Sometimes it rains for 48 hours without a break. In the older parts of the city, the roads flood. The water can rise as high as people’s waists in the worst part. When it’s this bad, anything with an engine is useless. But the rickshaw drivers never stop working, even with water all around them. But not everyone thinks rickshaws are a good thing. Some local officials and politicians want to ban rickshaws on ‘humanitarian grounds’. They believe it is wrong for one man to pull another person when there is modern transport in the city. However, there is a problem with this plan. Many of the rickshaw drivers come from the countryside with no job and no qualifications. The only job they can find in Kolkata is pulling a rickshaw. If the city bans rickshaws, these men won’t have a job or income. So for the moment, the people of Kolkata still go by rickshaw."
