Maharashtra: Aurangabad-based man uses horse to commute

Aurangabad-based man uses a horse to ride to work as he found it to be a feasible option amid rising fuel prices. Shaikh Yusuf, a lab assistant at a YB Chavan College of Pharmacy spent Rs 40,000 to purchase the horse named 'Jigar' primarily to commute during COVID-19 lockdown. Before the pandemic, Yusuf had an old bike but with increasing petrol prices he hit upon the idea to buy a horse to commute to his workplace that was 15 kilometres away from where he lived. “I bought it during lockdown. My bike wasn't functioning; petrol prices had gone up and public transport wasn't plying then I bought this horse for Rs 40,000 to commute. I work as a lab assistant at a college, and even today, I use my horse to commute. It keeps one fit and healthy. Also, given the rise in fuel prices, horse as a mode of transport is a feasible option,” he told ANI.
