		At least 25,000 CNG-run autorickshaws are in abundance in Dhaka, although the government's target was to allow maximum of only 13,000, the minister told a meeting of the parliamentary standing committee on communications ministry, sources said.
		Members of the parliamentary body alleged that price of a CNG autorickshaw had gone up to as high as Tk 3.67 lakh while the actual price was Tk 1.67 lakh as a result of a monopoly on imports by Uttara Motors.
		Two sub-committees were formed to probe into the alleged irregularities of the importing of CNG autorickshaws and the issuing of licences, and in the allocation of land to set up CNG refuelling stations.

		Autorickshaws have three wheels, two in the back and one in front, one driver's seat in front, and a seat that can hold two or three in the back.
		Steering an autorickshaw is accomplished through the handlebars mounted in front of the driver, almost exactly like a motorcycle or scooter.
		All models of autorickshaws have no starter motor; the driver either uses a pedal or a hand lever located to the left of the engine to get it turning, much like a lawnmower uses (except that they don't have gas-powered lawnmowers in India).

		I also got some of the worst colds of my life sitting in the back of autorickshaws, with the winter wind in my face and breathing enough diesel exhaust to last several lifetimes.

		A parliamentary standing committee yesterday took a swipe at Communications Minister Nazmul Huda for what it said was corruption in import and distribution of CNG autorickshaws, an allegation he denied outright.
		Uttara Motors, allowed to import 10,000 CNG autorickshaws, has sold 8,000 vehicles to local buyers since January 2002, when the government phased out petrol-driven two-stroke three-wheelers to cut air pollution in Dhaka.
		Syed Monjur Hossain, the committee chairman, came in with a counterpoint that the ministry earlier decided to import the autorickshaws through the BRTC (Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation), but allowed import permit to Uttara Motors instead in a break with the plan.

	The Tribune, Chandigarh, India - Ludhiana Stories
		The increasing presence of autorickshaws in the city was towards fulfilling the huge gap in the local transport service and growing needs of a sizeable population for an economical and faster mode of local transport.
		It is not uncommon to see an autorickshaw picking or dropping passengers in the middle of the road, right at an intersection, jumping traffic lights and changing lanes with total disregard to the inconvenience caused to other road users and holding up traffic.
		Though autorickshaw operators are not solely at fault since there are hardly any designated stands for them, but parking of three-wheelers indiscriminately on road sides, particularly in congested and thickly populated residential and commercial areas, also creates traffic chaos and adds to the woes of city residents.

		Readily available autorickshaws are of course a cheaper option but you'll need to get creative and organise a train connection to get you into the city centre.
		There's also an extensive system of suburban electric trains, but avoid rush hours when trains are so crowded that you have to start making your way towards the door at least three stops before you want to get off.
		Taxis are the most convenient way to get around the city and in South Mumbai drivers almost always use the meter without prompting and give the correct change; autorickshaws are confined to the suburbs north of Mahim Creek.
