Stupid question, but what is a tuk tuks? I mean trike I think I know. But not the other.
Folks, have you seen these things they have in some countries? They call them tuk-tuks. Very interesting, very unique. It’s like a little three-wheeled taxi—small, zipping around the streets, weaving in and out of traffic. You don’t see anything like that in America, I can tell you that.
They’re really something—kind of a mix between a motorcycle and a golf cart, but with a roof. They get the job done, folks, especially in places where the roads aren’t the best, or the traffic is just crazy. They’re not as big and powerful as the cars and trucks we have here, but they’re very practical. I’ve seen them packed with people, goods, you name it—people make it work.
Now, I’m not saying we need tuk-tuks in America, but you have to appreciate the ingenuity. It’s a creative solution to transportation in some pretty tough conditions. But let’s be honest, it’s no Cadillac or Ford, that’s for sure. But still, very interesting, very interesting.
