Glasgow gets on the tuk tuk taxi

SCOTLAND'S first passenger- carrying tuk tuk will launch sightseeing tours of Glasgow later this month.

Taxi driver Pat Donnelly has imported the first of two 659cc motorised rickshaws from Thailand, which can carry four people.

He hopes to start tours from George Square in two weeks' time, taking in Glasgow Cathedral, the People's Palace, Glasgow Science Centre and Kelvingrove Art Gallery.

The £16,500 vehicles will also be available for hire for events such as weddings.

And what about them pedal powered rickshaws too. Seems any tom dick or harry can get one and start plying for hire. folks are flagging them down in the street just like guess what.....Taxis. So now we have PH pickin up in the street, out of town taxis pirating and now these feckin' rickshaws wanting a piece of the pie too.

Don't worry about it if licensing don't sort it out market forces will
