Investigation into the use of motorcycle threewheelers (‘Qingqis’) as a mode of public transport in Punjab Province, Final Report

This report reviews the use of three-wheelers in Pakistan and other countries

Abstract

ReCAP has contracted IMC Worldwide to undertake research into the use of motorcycle rickshaws (three-wheelers known as ‘Qingqis’) for rural transport services in Punjab Province in Pakistan. This report reviews the use of three-wheelers in Pakistan and other countries, stressing the differences between the rural route-based services offered by motorcycle rickshaws with the urban point-to-point services of auto-rickshaws. Survey data from three rural areas is presented, including traffic analyses, and opinions of users, operators, manufacturers and regulators.

This work is part of the Applied Research on Rural Roads and Transport Services through Community Access Programmes in Africa and Asia (AFCAP2 and AsCAP)
