"Thaddi vans" are the classic symbols of Point Pedro (Paruththiththurai) - Kodikaamam route, operating exclusively in the route for over eight decades. The noise of the air-horn ("paam paam"), roaring engine sound and the resonance of vehicle's body with it, wooden seats - mostly without cushions, and the glassless windows allowing dusty air through it, make the journey by Thaddi van a unique experience.
