CNG Adventure in Dhaka

The CNG, more commonly known as the auto-rickshaw, is a three wheeled, forest green mini taxi that is able to maneuver itself even through the tightest of traffic jams. Meant to carry roughly three adults, rush hour tells a different story with arms and legs spilling out from the now low-riding green hornet. Like their taxi cab cousins, CNG’s do have meters, but for some reason these meters seemed to not work much when we foreigners jumped in the back. The uniformed driver, sporting a faded navy button up-shirt passed down from two generations before no doubt, peers through his caged in front and asks (in broken English and creative head movements) “where to?” before pressing on the gas and heading into the thick of the street’s traffic.
