| There are more than 18,000 rickshaws plying the streets of Kolkata, nearly 6,000 of whom are registered with the city government. During Kolkataââ¬â¢s monsoon rains, when the streets are regularly flooded, rickshaws are a used widely, even for trips as short as across the street. The rickshaw-wallahs are also busy during the sweltering months of spring and summer, when walking the streets can seem a hellish ordeal. During these times, the Rickshaw Pullerââ¬â¢s Union claims that its members earn approximately Rs. 100 ($2.25) per day, though this figure is almost surely exaggerated. |
