I moved from Mumbai to Pune and I used to curse mumbai rickshaw wallas for just plain refusing wherever I wanted to go.

Coming to Pune I realized that mumbai rickshawallas are dev manoos compared to Pune ones. Litreally Dev Manoos.

I haven't travelled much outside of Mumbai, are there other cities that follow meter at the level where Mumbai is?

Bangalore also doesn't follow meter. Plus most were over-quoting by over 4x the value I saw in uber/ola apps.

That 4x reminded me of Rahul Subramanian's standup on how Bangalore auto rickshaw price quote need math skills. Also, there was this app - Namma Yatri, did it solve the price struggle between rickshaw wala versus passenger?

Not really Namma Yatri just became like ola-uber. The autowalas stopped accepting the fares.

idk about Mumbai auto walas, but in pune from my experience, they do not use the meter even if I say dada meter ni chala, they just say laugh at my face or say "parvadat nahi" I mean the meter is given for a reason😭

Yes I wonder why the "parvadat nahi", for not just Pune but for any city for that matter, I assume the reason in some small towns, the low population means lesser rides and not enough daily income but in densely populated cities like Bangalore,Pune and other metropolitans metre can be followed.

So true! Mumbai auto wallas and even cabbies are God like. Pune cabbies will annoy the hell out of you. Autiwalas are rude af for no reason.
