Silvio Mendes is on a trip to India and experienced riding a tuk-tuk, a traditional transport vehicle very common in that country. He shared the experience on social media, generating great repercussion among his followers.
The post provoked various reactions in the comments, with many followers questioning whether the Indian vehicles could be a viable solution for Teresina's public transportation, a city with which Silvio Mendes has political ties.
The tuk-tuk is a three-wheeled vehicle widely used in India, both for passenger transport and for small loads. Its popularity is due to the fact that it is compact, economical, and adapted to the narrow streets and intense traffic of Indian cities.
The episode occurs in the context of Silvio Mendes's international trip, during which he is apparently learning about urban mobility alternatives practiced in other countries to possibly apply in his city.
