Heritage Trishaw (“Beca”) as The Main Mode of Public Transport to Commute Within George Town World Heritage Site (GTWHS)

Heritage trishaw in GTWHS used to be the main mode of public transport among local people for over 80 years, historically carrying children to and from school, women to the market, men to their work and families to their favourite restaurant. Nowadays, trishaw is no longer used by the local but mainly used by tourists, due to several factors. One of them is because of the transition of the city in terms of the title of World Heritage Site, it changed to more commercialise city and more tourists from day to day. Furthermore, people would prefer to choose another mode of transportations such as a car, taxi or motorcycle which is more comfortable, convenient, faster and sometimes even cheaper.
