In Diego we saw rickshaws transporting all sorts of stuff but never people. These are known in Madagascar as "pousse-pousse" because they are sometimes operated by two men and the front man shouts "Pousse! Pousse!" ("Push! Push!") to the man at the back when extra effort is needed. (photo by "Ambler")
