Samson’s auto-rickshaw is usually parked outside the Taj Coromandel in Chennai. It is likely India’s only adspace-driven tuk-tuk, and as you might imagine, Samson doubles as a tour guide as well as chauffeur. The website was created for him by a visitor from the UK, impressed by his savvy, though Samson speaks English himself as well.
He now hauls his own laptop and has a fleet of friends to help out larger groups of tourists. Samson can be hailed — or engaged in advance — by text or email.
