====Myanmar==== [[File:Cycle Rickshaw (29194653278).jpg|thumb|A cycle rickshaw in [[Yangon]]]] In Myanmar, cycle rickshaws or trishaws ({{langx|my|ααα―ααΊαα¬αΈ|translit=saik kar}}, directly pronounced as in the English word 'side car') came first into wide use in 1938, when the [[1300 Revolution]], which originated from the [[Chauk|Chauk oil-field]] strike, inspired the people in [[Mandalay]] to have a consciousness of nationalism and to boycott British goods and services. The auto body technician Saya Nyo built the first trishaw in Mandalay by attaching a side-car to the side of an old bicycle.<ref>{{cite book |last= Ludu Daw Amar |author-link= Ludu Daw Amar |date= Nov 1993|title=αααα¬αα―αΆ αααΉααα±αΈα αααΉααα±αΈααα»α½ααΊαααα―α· αααΉααα±αΈ |trans-title=Yadanabon Mandalay, Mandalay, Kyama do Mandalay|language=my |location= Mandalay|publisher= Ludu press & bookshop}}</ref> So two passengers are on the right of the driver. Only two forms of transportation were then available in the city; the cab and the electric train. The latter could run only on {{convert|10|km|mi|0|abbr=off|spell=on|adj=on}} tracks. Trishaws could reach every nook and cranny, so the spirit of nationalism plus the advantage of trishaws reaching everywhere made them so popular among Mandalayans that even the train company had to stop its business.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.moi.gov.mm/npe/?q=article/16/12/2019/id-91294|title=αα¬ααΊααα¬αΈααΎαα·αΊ ααα―ααΊαα¬αΈ |date=16 December 2019 |website= News and Periodical Enterprise |author= αα°αΈααΎααΊ |access-date=15 May 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://yangonlife.com.mm/en/article/myanmar-trishaw-01|title=Myanmar Trishaw|date=21 November 2019|website=Yangonlife|first=Crystal|last=Win|access-date=15 May 2020|archive-date=18 February 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190218142835/http://yangonlife.com.mm/en/article/myanmar-trishaw-01|url-status=dead}}</ref>
