==== Madagascar ==== In Madagascar, man-powered rickshaws are a common form of transportation in a number of cities, especially [[Antsirabe]]. They are known as "posy" from ''pousse-pousse'', meaning ''push-push''. Cycle rickshaws took off since 2006 in a number of flat cities like [[Toamasina]] and replaced the major part of the posy, and are now threatened by the auto rickshaws, introduced in 2009. Provincial capitals like Toamasina, Mahajanga, Toliara, and Antsiranana are taking to them rapidly.{{Citation needed|date=April 2016}} They are known as "bajaji" in the north and "tuk-tuk" or "tik-tik" in the east, and are now licensed to operate as taxis.{{Citation needed|date=April 2016}} They are not yet allowed an operating licence in the congested, and more polluted national capital, Antananarivo.{{Citation needed|date=April 2016}}<ref>{{cite book | title=Madagascar, Volume 15 of Cultures of the World Cultures of the World{{Snd}} Group 15 | publisher=Marshall Cavendish |author1=Jay Heale |author2=Zawiah Abdul Latif | year=2008 | pages=75β76 | isbn=978-0761430360 | edition=2}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yNax15GoPIkC&q=pousse-pousse&pg=PT59 | title=Madagascar Travel Guide | publisher=Lonely Planet | access-date=2013-04-13 | year=2012 | edition=7 | isbn=978-1743213018 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=2014-05-30 |title='Bajaj' Γ Mahajanga : Entre 70 et 100 clients par jour |url=http://www.midi-madagasikara.mg/societe/2014/05/30/bajaj-mahajanga-70-100-clients-jour/ |work=Midi Madagasikara |language=fr}}</ref>
