‘Tuk tuk’ saves my time – German Ambassador [October 27 2010]

The three wheeler with the red, black and yellow stripes is now the ‘easy- mode’ of transport for German Ambassador Jens Ploetner. The colourful ‘tuk tuk’ that is parked with the fleet of Benzes and BMWs at the Embassy is ideal for short distance travel, says Plotner.

“As the saying goes: When in Rome, do as the Romans do! Given the traffic situation in greater Colombo, the Trishaw has proven to be a very good means of nearby-delivery. We have experienced many occasions where nothing goes - except a Trishaw”, he says.
