The rickshaws cost about $3,000 each, and more if you add tracking and anti-theft systems.
"The first few rickshaws we bought were expensive but now we're looking at cheaper models," she said.
"The only disappointment is to get the funding for more rickshaws because the demand is out there and it is just a matter of getting all the funds together," Aslam said.
