Used photos from the “pulled rickshaw” Wikipedia page for reference and learned some things about it.
16 countries & big cities used it - Africa (East Africa, Madagascar, Nairobi, South Africa), Asia (Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong), India (Simla, Kolkata), Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Singapore, North America (USA, Canada - Halifax, Ottawa) … and the Philippines were the one exception.
“The pulled rickshaw never gained acceptance in the Philippines. Americans tried to introduce it to Manila in the early 20th century, but it was strongly opposed by local Filipinos who viewed it as an undignified mode of transport that turned humans into "beasts". The main mode of public and private transportation in the Philippines from the 18th to the early 20th centuries was the kalesa, a two-wheeled horse-drawn carriage.”
