Suspension monorail, Wuhan 

This moves all around Wuhan while hanging upside down. Launched recently in September, this mode of transport offers commuters a surreal experience like riding a futuristic vehicle in a sci-fi movie. This train has two cars that can accommodate 200 passengers and offer them a 270-degree view of the surroundings. 

Cocotaxi, Cuba

Car rapides in Dakar

This mode of transportation was built in France in the 1970s and then sent to Africa. These are neither cars nor rickshaws but heavy and bulky buses moving along crowded streets of Senegal’s capital in Dakar. This mode of transport is available in a large number. However, it is now being phased out to improve the traffic conditions. 

Coracles

Not just in one but this mode of transportation can be seen in several parts. Indian destinations like Hampi, Hogenakkal, Coimbatore are a few destinations that house these boats. However, it is not a recent development. These boats have been around for thousands of years and in multiple parts of the globe, including Wales, Ireland, Vietnam, and Cambodia. 

Party bike

Want to sip a drink while strolling around the streets? Well, this is the vehicle for you. Giving an experience of partying on wheels, these bikes started in the Netherlands but have now spread to multiple parts of the globe, including Bahamas, Germany, New Zealand, and many more.
