Travel first-class on new luxury rickshaw … for a good cause

A driver from Mumbai has converted his vehicle into a luxurious auto-rickshaw to provide a higher class of service to his customers. He was seen taking clients for a spin on the city’s streets.

Sandeep Bacche has kitted out his vehicle with a range of amenities, including Wi-Fi, telephone, mobile phone charger and newspapers of the day. Customers can also check the value of different currencies on a handwritten board that’s updated every day. They are also able to sup on snacks and beverages served onboard the vehicle.

Sandeep welcomes his customers with a hot cup of tea which is available for just Rs 5. He also has chocolates to offer in his auto that always smells of perfumes. “The first thing people tell me when they sit in my rickshaw is that they feel like they are sitting in the comfort of their own living rooms,” Sandeep told.

Sandeep’s auto-rickshaw also spreads messages in support of good causes, after he lost his mother to an illness. He is currently working with an Indian charity to help provide medicine and books to the underprivileged.
