Pedicab (三輪車)

In 1950s, pedicab or trishaw became one of the major kinds of public transport in Macao. The information of how did they come to Macao remained unknown even in the Macao Yearbook. The trishaw was a mix of the bicycle and the rickshaw (cycle rickshaw). It was a unique but rather slow way to move about for sightseeing. In the 50s, the government of Macao even published license for the pedicab and driving license to each pedicab driver. By 1990, only 200 pedicabs remained and in 1994, their numbers even decrease further. By this time, their customers became only tourists. They could be found at the pedicab stations outside Hotel Lisboa, the Ferry Terminal, and the Palace Entertainment Centre. In 1989, the government restricted pedicab to earn MOP$40 per hour. After the introduction of cars and buses, trishaw can no more compete with them concerning its speed. Trishaw had not served as a practical method of public transport in Macau for many years. However, it is a good idea to use the trishaw to roam around in Nanwan Lake or other interesting areas. There is no standard fee for trishaw service, so one may need to negotiate with the owner first (Macau). But afterwards, they were being required to get license for driving the pedicab. Trishaw was so popular in the old days before motorized transports were used.
