Instead of the usual drab seating, this rickshaw boasts a mesmerising glowing aquarium with vibrant fish swimming peacefully amidst the urban chaos.

In the bustling streets of Pune, one auto-rickshaw stands out for its one-of-a-kind makeover. This isn’t your average mode of transport, it’s more an aquarium than a vehicle. No, we aren’t joking. Amidst the usual cacophony of traffic, an auto driver has transformed his vehicle into a vibrant, neon-lit spectacle that has become an instant viral sensation. What makes this auto truly unique is its dazzling interior. Instead of the usual drab seating, this rickshaw boasts a mesmerising glowing aquarium, filled with colourful fish swimming peacefully amidst the urban chaos.

The creative transformation doesn’t stop there. To top it off, the aquarium is thoughtfully positioned below speakers, further adorned with disco lights, creating a truly unique and captivating ambience for passengers.

The clip, shared on X (formerly Twitter) by one of the passengers who took a ride, has quickly taken social media by storm, leaving users in awe of the driver’s creativity and ingenuity. Since being shared, the video of this one-of-a-kind has pulled in over 2.7 million views and more than 2 lakh likes.

“Fish be like, ‘Are Bhai, Hum toh Disco me, Rehte Hai,” read a comment.

Another added, “The aquarium is well ventilated and the water is clean, might not be that stressful for fish considering the driver is paying attention to the bump.”

“I’d pay three times the amount for this ride,” said a user.

An account remarked, “Oh, to be a fish swimming around in such an auto with banger music.”

“Bhai, isme baithne ka normal fare hai ya extra lete hai paise?” questioned a user.

An individual said, “We always keep our customers entertained. That’s what they mean,” added a fourth user.

“It’s fun for passengers but damn stressful for fish,” added another user.

Not long ago, another cab driver in Bengaluru has been winning hearts for his thoughtful and selfless gesture for his daily commuters. Rakesh, a speech-impaired taxi driver, has not only garnered admiration from his passengers, but his services are impressing users over the internet. Wondering what sets him apart from other drivers?

Besides discounted fares, the said person had added a few necessary services like water, books, and napkins for his passengers. An X user shared his experience with Rakesh, elaborating on the services that the vehicle had—something that leading app-based cab services have also failed to offer.

With such creative ideas, auto drivers are redefining public transport and serving as an example that even the most mundane of everyday objects can be transformed into extraordinary works of art.
