A driver manoeuvres his tuk-tuk in a narrow alleyway

In this Nov. 24, 2019 photo, tuk-tuk drivers make their way on a crowded street at a slum area in Cairo, Egypt. Motorized rickshaws known as tuk-tuks have ruled the streets of Cairo’s slums for the past two decades hauling millions of Egyptians home every day. Now the government is taking its most ambitious stand yet against the polluting three-wheeled vehicles: to modernize the neglected transport system, it plans to replace tuk-tuks with clean-running minivans.
