mini taxi.....
dedicated to the mini taxi's (mehdipatnam-HCU route).....
For those who are not aware of what a mini taxi is,it is a extended version of an auto,has three wheels, can accommodate six people at the rear end and two more in the front excluding the driver.Actually the number of people it can accommodate depends on the driver and his mood...it can even go upto 15,dont ask me how....
i owe a lot to this mode of transport.Two semesters of first hour attendance at college all thanks to the 'mini taxi' travel!!.
Unlike the bus(public transport) here the guy respectfully invites you,and also an added attraction is the music player which this taxi houses even though mostly what it plays would be Himesh Reshamiyya crap.Actually it was during one such travel that i was inspired to write a testimonial for a friend who is a hardcore reshamiya fan. :P
These mini taxi's become mini libraries when it is exam time ...because it is during this travel to college when the topper's notes is given a last minute glance to crap something in the exam.
These taxi's also provide the opportunity to meet awesome looking guys(the last stop being hi-tech city..(read:i never really cared..was too busy with i-pods/head phones....one of my many repentances)
Last but not the least the taxi driver always drops you inside college right in front of your block!!who would do that??that too at the nominal charge of a bus ticket...blah a rupee more!! :-P
mini taxi's..... they rule!!!!.....

A nice ode to the Mini- Taxis :)
In Pilani, we had a little modified version of the same mini- taxis. Here one of the seats was facing the vehicle coming behind and its funny name ‘Phatphati’. Any travel outside the campus had to be graced by this huge primitive age looking vehicle. But yes, they were good fun!
ya th name given by aks is used even in bombay.
