The cart, a work tool and income source. Behind the constant flow of goods carriers at Ambodivona, a discreet yet essential activity is developing. Daily cart and rickshaw rentals enable numerous workers to transport merchandise for their clients without investing in their own equipment. The principle is straightforward. Equipment owners make their materials available to carriers, who use them to deliver goods to their destinations. Rental costs range from 1,500 to 3,000 ariary per trip, depending on distance. This system relies essentially on trust between owners and users. Among the major players in this sector is François Rakotondrasoa, nicknamed "Fra." A former carrier, he switched to manufacturing and renting hand carts and rickshaws in 2005. After several years of experience, he gradually built a fleet of twenty pieces of equipment, including sixteen rickshaws and four hand carts, which he makes available to carriers daily. Trust. "In this work, trust is the foundation of everything. I know almost all the carriers, but if I don't know someone, I ask for their ID," he explains. A precaution that helps secure his business. Through this activity, François Rakotondrasoa claims to earn an average of 80,000 ariary in daily revenue. But rental is not without risks. He has already lost a rickshaw when a carrier took it and never returned it. "He left with my rickshaw and disappeared," he recounts. Despite these incidents, demand remains strong. Hand cart and rickshaw rentals are now an important link in Ambodivona's informal economy. They create complementarity between owners and carriers and allow the latter to conduct their business without bearing the cost of purchasing equipment essential for daily goods transport.
