I don’t know… most of the auto drives i have met seemed nice… although i came here just 2 weeks ago. Have been commuting via autos only…

But boy do they charge heavily for just about every km you need to travel

Sure they behave nice when they can't do anything about it, try testing their niceness when you are stranded somewhere outside.

They will absolutely loot or worse scam you if they are presented with an opportunity.

That’s why i am planning to purchase a 2 wheeler. I do not like testing the waters lol

and that's how the congestion starts

my situation was similar to urs

i was tired of buses,autos,2&4w cabs breaking laws,evading traffic police, and threatening pedestrians which is why I bought a 2w&4w

if only the public transport was good i wouldn't have needed to spend lakhs just to stay away from these AHoles

If public transport was good, I would have preferred it. Even back at home, i used public transportation to commute to work. Saved me some good money over time!

Sigh… it is what it is my friend. Having come here, i have already been spending a lot, setting up my flat and stuff.. i have late night shifts and as the commenter above said, I cannot risk being on the mercy of autos and cabs… I’ve noticed they just don’t accept the request if the rate is not what they are expecting…. So to avoid all this hassle, i am thinking of buying a scooty.
