Public transport in Mumbai

Rickshaws

Auto rickshaws play an important role in public transport in Mumbai. There are 246,458 black-and-yellow metered auto rickshaws, often simply called autos, rickshaws, or simply ricks, in the Mumbai MMR as of 2008. Since 2002, all auto rickshaws have been required to use CNG as fuel. However, not all rickshaws comply. In some areas, if a CNG filling facility is not available, the fuel is either petrol or LPG.
