In this age of information, where modes of transport are getting faster day in and day out, there is something peculiar about Patna's transport system.People in general, prefer to reach there destination faster. People here seem to be unorthodox, at least when it comes to small distance travel within the city.Rickshaw is one of the most preferred modes of transport here. The rickshaws are very slow when compared to motored transport. They are neither comfortable nor cheap when compared to the motor transport, yet people love to ride home in the three wheeled homo-sapien driven vehicle. The motor transport damaged this kind of transport in many a metro city in INDIA but the people of Patna love this as much as the Italians love the Ferrari.
What's so special about this INDIAN Ferrari? You must take a ride to feel it. The clik-clak sound of the half-worn pedals, ting! The sound of metal against metal when you apply the brakes, the tring-tring sound of the bell( resembles the old telephone ring) give you an all together a new feeling. This indeed seems pleasing after the daily noisy clumsy motor transport you take to your destinations. The idea of a ride during the evening with your partners can also make it romantic; the wind ruffling through your hair, the sound of the wind through your ear and a pleasant talk would just spice up your perfect evening. Though this mode of transport is a little costly compared to the orthodox means, but once a while it is duly affordable. The people of Patna have surely realized there is a small paradise right outside their gates waiting for them, so just go and get the ride of your life.
