What Wikivoyage says about moving around
  • Get aroundMost of Karachi's inhabitants rely on public transport to and from their workplace and do ride in a taxi and auto-rickshaw at least once in the city.
  • Get aroundIf you are not used to Pakistani roads, an auto-rickshaw ride can be a heart-stopping, death-defying, laws-of-physics-bending.
  • Get aroundRickshaws are a popular method of travelling in Karachi, they're cheap, flexible and are everywhere in the city at any time of day.
  • Get aroundIf you need to travel shorter distances, go by rickshaw.
  • Get aroundPregnant ladies are most strongly advised not to travel by auto-rickshaws since the combination of rash driving, poor suspensions, and horrible road conditions have quite often led to serious complications.
