Photos of Different Transport Modes

 Providing the better routes for transport is one of the key features in the Google Maps. At the moment the Google Maps give transport modes such as a car, walk, bicycle, transit, plan, etc. There are other transport modes not mentioned in Google Maps. It would be great to see photos of the different modes of transport available in other countries. I am going to share two photos. Can you share photos of different transport modes available in your country?

Hello @AnuradhaP

Rickshaw is a three-wheeled passenger cart called rickshaw, which is generally pulled by one man to carrying passenger. Rickshaw is used every where in the country but most useable in the rural areas.
