 travelsrilanka - Taking a Trishaw - Sri Lanka
There are no doors on a trishaw: the sides are generally open, although some trishaws have a small safety bar across the offside preventing access to the rear seat via the offside.
You will find that when the trishaw is in a line or in a cluster on a street corner, there is a queuing system in place, so you will be directed to the next one for hire.
Trishaws have a reserve tank of petrol and if the main tank runs out the driver needs to reach behind him and flick a switch located somewhere near the offside passenger’s right foot.
