In Indonesia we call it becak (from Chinesse-Hokian dialect, be-chia which means horse-drawn carriages), you can find this kind of tranportation on almost every city in Indonesia except Jakarta when they are no longer permitted on mayor roads since 2001, but in other city around Indonesia they are still used for daily life transportation and of course for having some money / food for the driver.
