In India, auto-rickshaws are arguably the cheapest mode of public transport. Americans are not used to these vehicles plying on roads.

A video shared by Instagram user @manoharsrawat on April 29, shows a black and yellow auto-rickshaw, similar to the ones we see in India, being driven around a street in California‘s Artesia.

As the video zooms in, the auto-rickshaw drives along the length of the road against a picturesque backdrop.

The video is now viral on the platform with over 21k likes and nearly eight lakh plays.
