BULLOCK CARTS
At Matheran there are 71 rickshaws which are drawn by men,
and they vary in their size and structure from those plying at
Nagpur. In addition there are many horses owned by the local
dwellers which they give on hire to the tourists.
In the rural as well as urban areas of this district bullock-cart has been the
most important vehicle from very ancient times. This is attributable to the fact
that bullock-cart is very convenient to the farmers to carry their goods and implements.
However, the small units of holdings prevalent in this district do not permit many a cultivator to own a pair of bullocks and a cart. Hence, the number of bullock-carts is less in this district.
