There are indeed new sedans and four wheel drives in Bhuj, but by far the most common form of transport, even for whole families is the motor bike - as the Navaratri Festival parking lot shows!! I have no idea how anyone found their bike that night!! Then there are the 3 wheelers - the ubiquitous "tuk tuks" - 3 wheeled cabs, trucks ... and people transports. There are good reasons for this. Not only are the cheaper to buy and run, but roads outside Bhuj, and even within, are often narrow, winding and rough. Moreover - few people would have room to park anything else. I havn't managed the picture of a bike as family transport, but it is common enough. Between the two, they honk constantly in many different keys.
Pictures
1. Navaratri Festival parking lot ... I believe some did have to come back next day to find their bike!!
2. I'm not sure exactly what this one is - but could well be family transport/cum delivery van.
3.Tuk tuks .... these may be out for repairs because I suspect they mostly run 24hrs.
4. I thought this was an interesting variation ...
I have to send this in two blogs to fit in the pics,
Happy travelling to all,
Robyn
