Roads in urban areas are generally well developed, but those in rural regions may be unpaved and impassable in heavy rains. Buses, often crowded, serve as the main source of public transportation in cities. A growing number of people are able to afford cars, and the influx of cars on the road has resulted in increased pollution and traffic. People also travel by motor scooter, tricycle-driven rickshaw, and tanga (a covered horse-drawn cart). Taxis are plentiful, but rates are not standardized. In rural areas, bull-drawn carts are a common mode of transportation. Traffic travels on the left side of the road.  India is a leading producer of peanuts, rice, cheese, tobacco, wheat, cotton, milk, sugarcane, and rubber. Other important crops include grains, oil seed, jute, tea, and coffee. Export earnings come mainly from tea, coffee, iron ore, fish products, and manufactured items. Textiles are a principal domestic product and also a profitable export.
