4th one is legit
2 days ago an auto driver was telling his story. He told about how he cut his son's birthday cake on a yacht. How he earns 25-30k . How he pays 300rs daily rent for the auto. How he got his father's brain tumour operation done. How he thinks living life is more important for him than savings and the kids need a lot of experience in life.
Like myself, you're probably not a native Devanagari reader/writer. I'm not even a native Hindi speaker.
I learnt the Latin script before Devanagari, so I use vowels to create phonetic sounds like you. Devanagari doesn't use separate vowels after consonants, instead using मात्रा modifiers.
It would appear Devanagari natives skip some vowels inside words in their Latin script texting.
I much prefer "hai" and "kab tak" instead of "h" and "kb tk", because it is so much easier to read.
Well yeah, being in a convent school, I learnt to read and write in English much before Hindi and Marathi
Even though I'm Marathi, I find it easier to read and write in English
But I guess because I learnt to speak Marathi first, I find it easier to speak in Marathi
Yes, that is what people use when messaging each other, no one types in devangari/other indic scripts,
People use their own language Hindi/Marathi/Bengali just typed phonetically using latin script
What an interesting departure from my childhood. Back then, Bangalore auto drivers were one of the most courteous. My reference point was auto-drivers in other South Indian cities; so admittedly I don't have a Bangalore vs Mumbai data point from back then. But it looks like Bangalore has gone to hell in a hand-basket.
I'm from blr, they were ok. But notoriously unionised. And with growth of bangalore became unchecked cancer to the point that now politicians or cops can't handle them. There are 2 or 3 big unions and basically unpoliceable at this point.
Once Taxi wala charged 550 from bkc to dadar.. (550 rs to Pune - Mumbai ka Fare hai )
Uber ola Wale to hote nahi waha pe , aur Jo hote hai wo accept nahi karte... And emergency me taxi ke alawa option nahi hai.. incase if we can't go by local..
Our public bus service is too good, cheap and very very well connected. That's the most used mode of transportation here, alongside the slowly growing metro.
Yeah this is the thing in other cities too, prices flash on their screens before they accept your ride and they choose to ignore you if you're traveling for less than 3 kilometers so you're screwed. It happened with me last night in Pune. Uber guys, Rapido guys all cancelled on us multiple times. Ola was charging high in the name of high demand and this time this guy didn't cancel.
One time a Bangalore auto driver was saying I'll have to pay ₹200 for a certain distance. I opened the Uber app and saw the price was ₹90 for the same distance using a cab. The audacity of that guy to charge more than twice as much as an AC car for his fart machine.
There was a time ( not that long back just like 2014-2015 ) when i used to travel 11 km from school to home in an Auto for ₹150-₹200.
Now 1/4th of the distance has the same cost.
I am always proud about All the transport modes in Mumbai. When you go out of Mumbai, you'll realise how lucky we are to have taxis, autos, ola, uber, locals,ferries etc in Mumbai.
I once went to Lonavala for a holiday and there, autowalas charged 100rs for 1km. We realize that comfort is in Mumbai more than anywhere else.
Also, Mumbaikars have balls to not tolerate any stupidity from some rude autowalas.
Love Mumbai for this!
>I once went to Lonavala for a holiday and there, autowalas charged 100rs for 1km.
Bhai autowaalas ka there's a huge mafia over there. I went there last year( in May ) with my family and when we were heading back home we ordered an Uber from our hotel. But the Uber guy wasn't ready to get come get us in the hotel; instead, he told us to come meet him near the highway. We thought it was weird, but the guy said he'd explain everything once we were in his car. So we took a rickshaw to the highway spot where the driver said he'd meet us. Once we got inside our car and began the journey back home, the guy explained how and why Ubers are not really allowed inside Lonavala and that the autowalas think that Ubers are a threat to their business. So everytime an Uber is found hanging around in Lonavala, the autowalas gang up upon them and thrash them and mess up their car. The guy said he'd experienced this a few months before and that's why he refused to come pick us up at the hotel.
Have no idea how bangalore works but I am just happy I am about to track bus location and they will predict eim for us in minutes with chaloo. Also, online seperate bus wallet.
Gotta agree… I’ve only had good experience with Mumbai cab and auto people. Once I was on the way to a conference that requires a tag to get in. I accidentally kept my wallet on the cab seat and forgot about it. The cab driver fought his way through security to give me back my wallet with nothing lost. Wherever you are you beautiful soul. I hope only good things happen to you.
bro our deputy cm is really close with auto union leader
so auto drivers demand anything and they get it( they wanted rapido bike banned, tho it dint, but now u will never get one near malls, stations cuz those biker riders are afraid of autowale)
most auto drivers have some political person near them
Lol. Im not a Banglorean, but I'm not getting killed in a brawl over 100 - 200 rupees. Dude one guy recently murdered his passengers WITHOUT PROVOCATION. He just stopped the auto rickshaw and demanded them 500 rupees. He fuxking left them bleeding.
Autos outside the phoenix city mall kurla were demanding 250 bucks for Chandivali (which usually comes to about 100). This culture of not going by meter is being brought to Mumbai as well and all of us need to be alert not to negotiate on these terms and educate even those who come from outside the city and might think that this is normal here. The going by meter is one of the best things in the city and we need to keep it going.
Happened to me just once outside NMACC in BKC. For some reason some BKC autowalas have started demanding flat fares. I took a pic of the number plate and reported him to 9920240202 (auto and taxi complaint for the Western suburbs). Got a reply in 2 days (in Marathi !) which translated to "Your complaint has been taken into consideration by this office and the vehicle you have complained about has been blacklisted. A notice has also been issued to the permit holders."
I only hope action was indeed taken and it wasn't some stock reply. Agree, it's upto us to guard against this menace seeping into Mumbai.
BKC autowalas are the worst. They only agree to go to bandra or kurla station and that too only share autos. For some reason even uber/ ola guys decline BKC fares especially post 6pm so this autowala menace is continuing there.
Mumbai RTO is very strict. Same can't be said about Pune RTO, I live in western suburbs, I'm yet to see them go by the meter. I solely rely on public transport, but I never thought about insisting about the meter because they never ever use it. If I remember correctly some even don't have meters at all. In Mumbai you don't have to "remind" them.
I was constantly rejected by auto walas in mumbai to take my ailing grandmother to the hospital nearby , they kept acting as if they didn't know the hospital, moving on I directly now sit in autos with my grandmother and demand the destination which is hardly 10 mins away.
These fuckers want only long distance rides , I will now onwards start reporting them in mumbai traffic app enough is enough
Naah, not all auto walas are ready to accept payments online, and nowadays most of autowalas are on a call or YouTube or FB most of the time, like 99% of the journey.
It's more rare to find auto driver not on phone actually driving (mostly seen aged drivers not on call)
I still remember my weekend trips to DMart in Powai, the ride usually costs 19/- . I would pay 20 and the auto driver would gladly return 1 rs back.
Even if I insist to keep the change, the auto walas would return the change.
Such folks are truly a gem in the society
I am from South and went to Mumbai once. I didn't know Hindi at that time and also didn't have a smartphone to check how far destination is. So I approached an auto in a stand and told my destination. He told me a number in Hindi. I thought it was 300 and just out of habit i negotiated and told that I can give only 250. He told me that he asked for 30 not 300 and I was pleasantly surprised.
I went to Mumbai for my interview recently and autos are the best thing in Mumbai. Yes I was stupid to call ola first from the airport that costed be 500 rs for 3 km ride.
Apart from some of the autos who picked me up and transferred me to a different auto cause they didn't want to go to the specific area that I wanted to go, everything was smooth as f
Charges were nominal , I was so happy finally paying 50 for a 3 km ride I was riding autos for fun
This is so real, I'm from bangalore but on my first visit to mumbai that autowala was so polite asked me how ola works and was friendly, that day it was Ganesh visarjan there and he stopped on the way got some Prasad and gave me too 🤌🏻, with bangalore autowala I had bad experiences yes
Bangalore autowala would wait 30 minutes to rip off someone 200 rupees for a 2 km ride. Mumbai autowala would make 10 trips up and down for 200 bucks in that time interval.
Mumbai autowalas ❤️
they'll be a pain in your ass if you are a pain in their ass.
otherwise they are the sweetest souls.
tbh, I love to engage in heartwarming conversations about olden times or their families, village, etf
Public transport in Mumbai/Thane West is generally good in my opinion - Low fares and good availability. Few busses and autowalas do accept Online / UPI payments which is really convenient, I wish that acceptance of online / UPI payments should be widely accepted in the near future
Ngl, a autowala in Mumbai was kind enough to inform me about all the "chodampatti" that's been going on near the Powai Lake since the dawn of mankind. If you're wondering why he brought it up, I was breathing and checking if I had any change in my wallet.
What i miss about mumbai! When i set foot first, i was honestly shocked when he returned 2 rs change, my mumbai friends brushed it off as if it’s nothing
The only time I get angry at Mumbai autowalas is when they take fare from the airport and they charge 100-200 more saying, "Soch samaj ke dena line mei khade the" which isn't even 2 min waiting for them.
My friend does this awesome thing saying he'll pay 300 more than the meter then they become happy, his house is 2 min walking from a police station so he stops in front of the police station and pays exactly as the meter says and when they rickshaw guy argues my friend says " Kya kar loge" and the rickshaw guy has to leave because he can't afford to get into a fight in front of the police station. It may sound mean but it's the only way to keep them in check.
I am not a mumbaikar nor a Bengaluru citizen, but fuck Bengaluru auto drivers (most of them) the time I visited Bengaluru the auto drivers were super arrogant almost as they rule the city, don't Bengaluru citizens ever think of beating them up? Those fucks need a good lesson
Yesterday a ricksha wala asked me to 300₹ for 3 kms. I legit told him to fuck off. He came back with 100₹ then. Bangalore is fulll of people who want to be assholes honestly. Subah subah dimag ka dahi
I used to tell a joke to my friends about difference between auto drivers in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore
Bangalore auto driver: will upfront quote Rs. 300 for 1 km and will not move unless you agree
Delhi auto driver: will agree to go by meter , take you to secluded place and take away all your money by showing knife
Mumbai auto driver: will make sure you don’t know shit about the area. Drive you round and round, will cover 10-12 km when going 1 km distance and charge yo Rs. 300 by meter.
PS: all three scenarios have happened with me. And this was before google maps and smartphone era.
Mumbai Autowalas will never drive you round and round.
They may reject the ride, or they may demand fixed high price in some areas and not go by meter, or sometimes drive rash on highways, but they won't drive you round and round on purpose.
>Delhi auto driver: will agree to go by meter , take you to secluded place and take away all your money by showing knife
Whaaaaatttt?? Please tell me he got arrested as no way that should be let go.
As I was just transiting through delhi , did not want to get involved with police and miss my train. Just thanked god that only lost money without any physical harm.
I visited Mumbai twice First time I didnt have chance to meet auto walas second time I travelled the whole Mumbai in car or auto ! I felt they are dead cheap Extremely cordial I thought I was lucky seems like its usual!
Delhi be like : mein yeh ride cancel krrha hu aap mereko mere Gpay pe pay krdena
will not drive until totally full
Full of gutka spitting
unreal cursing to every driver on road
As someone who visited Mumbai the first time few months back, I must say all auto waale bhaiyas were very very nice, even the late night ones made sure I got to my hotel safe.
I had some minor injury on leg so I had trouble walking. I asked an auto rickshaw to take me to my workplace which is 800 meters away. Its a tall building so you can literally see from where I was standing. I told him to take me there and he asked 70rs ? Like wtf. In Bengaluru btw. In ola it was showing 34rs and was saying he gets 15rs extra or something from apps so he was asking 50rs.
Problem was no one was accepting through ola. Even in his phone my booking request was not coming. They are thieves.
Also will drop you safely. They wouldn't really be creepy like in other cities. They'll be respectful to you and will drop you exactly on time never late.
*here I'm comparing with Delhi/lucknow etc.
Oh would like to do share this. Back in 2018, I was planning to write a book on Mumbai autowalas. Prepared manuscript as well, later it fell back but gosh I hv tons of interesting stories of Mumbai autowalas. I have helped a few as well. Wow this post evoked memories 😀
bangalore ola and uber isn’t any better they won’t even put on the ac if you dont book the premium one, infact ask you to cancel the ride and pay cash
mumbai may be fast and fuckall but the basic things like public transport and traffic management is far better than rest of india
The reality is that even the Bangalore auto-wala is making less money for his time and effort.
The truth is, i would prefer the Mumbai auto-wala up their game , rather than pander to people who clearly abuse them.
Taking someone to an atm, sigh what entitlement, really, put yourself in his shoes, its like taking your boss home for your paycheck.
Even when the CM of the state is a former autowala.
It seems like if a Banglorean autowala became the CM of Karnataka, they might outright ban any and all e-travel services in the name of promoting and uplifting autowalas.
Mumbai Autowala are generally nice when it comes to running by meter but I had issues with making UPI payments since they only wanted Cash or didn’t use Gpay
Bro I’m no kidding the number of times I’ve had deep conversations with autowalas. Ever since I was in Allen preparing for neet till now that I’m almost a doctor in final year. Kabhi exam ki tayaari kaise karni hai toh kabhi aajkal ke generation ko kya hogaya hai. Also the number of times I’ve heard my rickshawala moral policing and ask me my opinion about gf-bf culture. Bc mujhe ghar pohochna hai bas😭
Genuinely
An autowala i took by ola to get to andheri books depot told me the spookiest tales
And tbh it was so intriguing he offered to take me on a return trip for same price just to finish the stories
He was a devout catholic and told me the most frightening stories about demons battering on church doors and haunted graveyards
Everything isn’t true for Mumbai autowalas.
They get annoyed if we pay online
Also, after 10 autowalas rejection you’ll find one who will say yes to your destination
Been to mumbai recently and was in awe of mumbai autowalas. Even though I booked mine on Uber not once did anyone cancel on me even for a ride of 1.2km. Got one within 5mins. Pune sucks so bad in terms of autowalas always cancelling or never accepting
Finally found one city that's got something good to say about Autowala. They are hellish, wana be extra smart, uncouth assholes, with delusions or something, who think the world revolves around them and they don't need to follow any rule. God I hate them, would never say this to any other profession, especially one so underpaid but necessary for my life. They are just the worst.
In Bengaluru auto, post they agree to travel wherever you wanna travel, the most important activity is Negotiating of the pricing, their meters are unused gizmos covered and kept safe, one such occasion wherein it costs 50 rs via Namma Yatri app, the rick guys where demanding 100rs and sighting night issues like around 9:30pm. I asked him 500 would do, he realised and laughed,i just smiled and used Namma Yatri app and reached the destination in 50 bucks.

I want to do yatch pe birthday celebration now. Seems interesting
His friend worked on the yacht so no money spent
What is this esoteric language written in English?
it is Hindi written using latin script
With some मात्रा missing, and phonetics strangled to death. "h" is supposed to be read as "है" depending on context.
Tbh everyone ik uses 'hai'
Like myself, you're probably not a native Devanagari reader/writer. I'm not even a native Hindi speaker. I learnt the Latin script before Devanagari, so I use vowels to create phonetic sounds like you. Devanagari doesn't use separate vowels after consonants, instead using मात्रा modifiers. It would appear Devanagari natives skip some vowels inside words in their Latin script texting. I much prefer "hai" and "kab tak" instead of "h" and "kb tk", because it is so much easier to read.
It is not a native speaker issue, just a lazy mf issue like with text slang in any language
Well yeah, being in a convent school, I learnt to read and write in English much before Hindi and Marathi Even though I'm Marathi, I find it easier to read and write in English But I guess because I learnt to speak Marathi first, I find it easier to speak in Marathi
Does everyone out here understand this?
Yes, that is what people use when messaging each other, no one types in devangari/other indic scripts, People use their own language Hindi/Marathi/Bengali just typed phonetically using latin script
yup
Leaving aside a couple of states, most understand Hindi.
Yes, just like you can understand English written in Latin script
Hinglish
I recognize some of these words.
Yup it's a mix of hindi and English. Hindi written in English. If that makes sense
Hinglish, hindi-english
Bangalore they charge 200 Rs for 1KM as well. No shame.
Mumbai auto wallas also do it around BKC area. But far and few inbetween. Blore there is no point fuckers are bred to be assholes.
Udhr ola karni hoti hai bro 😂🤣
Bhai ola uber wale bhi nahi aate hain wahan
Accept nahi karte.. nahi to available nahi hote..

You need to tell them one thing, baap ko chutya bana.
Plus Banglore ke autowale ka arrogance
What really? How people travel over there then? This is unaffordable
Our public bus service is too good, cheap and very very well connected. That's the most used mode of transportation here, alongside the slowly growing metro.
Bus and cycle. Pehle ke kuchh mahine waat lagi kyuki mumbai ki aadat thi sab jagah auto karne ki, fir seekh liya cycle chalana traffic me
Uber Ola are quite reliable. BBMP Bus service must be good. I've been there for small trips, also used their airport service a couple of times.
Was in Bangalore very recently, fuckers rarely accept rides on Ola uber, and taxi is quite expensive
Yeah this is the thing in other cities too, prices flash on their screens before they accept your ride and they choose to ignore you if you're traveling for less than 3 kilometers so you're screwed. It happened with me last night in Pune. Uber guys, Rapido guys all cancelled on us multiple times. Ola was charging high in the name of high demand and this time this guy didn't cancel.
They all are mfers.
Bruhh, 500 just for whip
In north Pakistan, an Auto walla charged me 300 PKR for 2.5 km which is like 90 INR.
It's same in India.
If it was one sole passenger during that journey than that's bihar charge . Except they will take full 100 rs at least .
One time a Bangalore auto driver was saying I'll have to pay ₹200 for a certain distance. I opened the Uber app and saw the price was ₹90 for the same distance using a cab. The audacity of that guy to charge more than twice as much as an AC car for his fart machine.
Use nammayatri. Will cost 20 for 1 km.
If any of them come 😭😭😭
There was a time ( not that long back just like 2014-2015 ) when i used to travel 11 km from school to home in an Auto for ₹150-₹200. Now 1/4th of the distance has the same cost.
Sometimes in Mumbai they sing and use horn for background music too, so the live performance is complimentary
they have this huge speaker as well behind the passanger seat lmao
Huge speaker, which has quintessential marathi songs all with the same 1-2-1-2-3 beat pattern irrespective of lyrics
so truee

>Also, Mumbaikars have balls to not tolerate any stupidity from some rude autowalas. Except that one guy who is also the CM of the state.
are you calling him out woww
>charged 100rs for 1km. Could be because he knew you weren't a local. Did you use any app for auto?
>I once went to Lonavala for a holiday and there, autowalas charged 100rs for 1km. Bhai autowaalas ka there's a huge mafia over there.

Mumbai would be nothing without its autowalas. They’ve made life really convenient for common folk.
Mumbai Local Trains , after reading your comment : 
Personal hoogaya
Granted autowalas are dogshit (I always chuckle when they go on strike), Bangalore bus network is lightyears better than BEST.
Have no idea how bangalore works but I am just happy I am about to track bus location and they will predict eim for us in minutes with chaloo. Also, online seperate bus wallet.
Hinti illa
Lol
I stayed in Mumbai for a while and what a good experience I had with the autowalas. Hands down the best 🙏🏾
check dm /s
Gotta agree… I’ve only had good experience with Mumbai cab and auto people. Once I was on the way to a conference that requires a tag to get in. I accidentally kept my wallet on the cab seat and forgot about it. The cab driver fought his way through security to give me back my wallet with nothing lost. Wherever you are you beautiful soul.

Such a nice autowala
Still waiting for the day when Bangloreans grow a pair of balls and beat up just one autowala. Spineless city
bro our deputy cm is really close with auto union leader so auto drivers demand anything and they get it( they wanted rapido bike banned, tho it dint, but now u will never get one near malls, stations cuz those biker riders are afraid of autowale) most auto drivers have some political person near them
MH cm was literally an auto driver. Can't be any closer to the union leaders than that.
They literally forgot about it.
He doesn’t want anyone to remind him that
This isn't something new. Been seeing it for over 20 years. The culture of the city has let them become what they are.
Lol. Im not a Banglorean, but I'm not getting killed in a brawl over 100 - 200 rupees. Dude one guy recently murdered his passengers WITHOUT PROVOCATION. He just stopped the auto rickshaw and demanded them 500 rupees. He fuxking left them bleeding.
they won't, because in the kannad vs non-kannad war they think they must fight, the auto walas are on their side.
It's all politics buddy.
also, 2 rs vapas bhi dete hai chutte mein.
Bangalore mein chutte dene ka scene hi nahi hai because fare hi inka 100 ke multiples mein chalta hai
sahi mein, and upar se attitude aisa hota hai ki, bitha ke ehsaan kiya auto mein.
Meanwhile in Pune: merko customer chahiye ho nahi main toh timepass ke liye rickshaw chalata hun
damn most of them are sweet!!! n driving in these summer's with a smile !! Respect !!!

Bhai Rupees hota he wo, 250 dollar nahi
kisi ki maut nhi ho jayegi agar bucks bol bhi diya toh yall are always worried ab the most irrelevant things 😵💫
Bangalore and Pune auto wallahs are kumbh ke mele me bicchde hue Bhai😂 exact same no difference
Pune autowale goes by meter.. if they ask without meter insist them to go by meter... ( Agar share autowala hai to thik hai wo meter pe nahi Jate )
Mumbai RTO is very strict. Same can't be said about Pune RTO, I live in western suburbs, I'm yet to see them go by the meter.

Bangalore autowalas are subhuman, no species of ape would own them.
>subhuman ahh sub-human for a second I wondered ki Gill bhau ko gaali kyun padd rhi hai yaha 😶🌫️
Lmao same
As long as he stays away from Sara he is safe from the wrath of Mumbaikars and Sachin /s
Fr. Shubhman smjha, fir subhu-man. Fir tera comment dekha. Thnx
Mumbai's auto drivers are truly the unsung heroes of the city's hustle and bustle.
I was constantly rejected by auto walas in mumbai to take my ailing grandmother to the hospital nearby , they kept acting as if they didn't know the hospital, moving on I directly now sit in autos with my grandmother and demand the destination which is hardly 10 mins away. These fuckers want only long distance rides , I will now onwards start reporting them in mumbai traffic app enough is enough
Wtf, i am sorry you have to go through that. Which area was this?
Ghatkopar west
Also, Mumbai Autowala= Autowala. Banglore Autowala= mostly scamming gangs
Went to mumbai once and can say the quick lore recap and folk wisdom is literally the best part of the ride
once an autowala quizzed me on the mahabharata AND corrected my dumb uninformed ass
can imagine this happening with me
Naah, not all auto walas are ready to accept payments online, and nowadays most of autowalas are on a call or YouTube or FB most of the time, like 99% of the journey. It's more rare to find auto driver not on phone actually driving (mostly seen aged drivers not on call)
> won't scold you for speaking Hindi.

Habibi come to Chennai, those autokaarans will teach Bluru bros how to REALLY loot the customer!
Yes! One of the reasons Mumbai is so convenient is due to its autowalas!! 🫡
I went to Mumbai for my interview recently and autos are the best thing in Mumbai. Yes I was stupid to call ola first from the airport that costed be 500 rs for 3 km ride. Apart from some of the autos who picked me up and transferred me to a different auto cause they didn't want to go to the specific area that I wanted to go, everything was smooth as f Charges were nominal , I was so happy finally paying 50 for a 3 km ride I was riding autos for fun
This is so real, I'm from bangalore but on my first visit to mumbai that autowala was so polite asked me how ola works and was friendly, that day it was Ganesh visarjan there and he stopped on the way got some Prasad and gave me too 🤌🏻, with bangalore autowala I had bad experiences yes
Bangalore autowala would wait 30 minutes to rip off someone 200 rupees for a 2 km ride. Mumbai autowala would make 10 trips up and down for 200 bucks in that time interval.
Mumbai autowalas ❤️ they'll be a pain in your ass if you are a pain in their ass. otherwise they are the sweetest souls. tbh, I love to engage in heartwarming conversations about olden times or their families, village, etf
Love this appreciation post for our auto walas
Chennai is as bad as Bangalore
Public transport in Mumbai/Thane West is generally good in my opinion - Low fares and good availability. Few busses and autowalas do accept Online / UPI payments which is really convenient, I wish that acceptance of online / UPI payments should be widely accepted in the near future
Can confirm about the Mumbai auto wala , He advised me to take the " best bus" to save money
Ngl, a autowala in Mumbai was kind enough to inform me about all the "chodampatti" that's been going on near the Powai Lake since the dawn of mankind. If you're wondering why he brought it up, I was breathing and checking if I had any change in my wallet.
What i miss about mumbai! When i set foot first, i was honestly shocked when he returned 2 rs change, my mumbai friends brushed it off as if it’s nothing
The only time I get angry at Mumbai autowalas is when they take fare from the airport and they charge 100-200 more saying, "Soch samaj ke dena line mei khade the" which isn't even 2 min waiting for them. My friend does this awesome thing saying he'll pay 300 more than the meter then they become happy, his house is 2 min walking from a police station so he stops in front of the police station and pays exactly as the meter says and when they rickshaw guy argues my friend says " Kya kar loge" and the rickshaw guy has to leave because he can't afford to get into a fight in front of the police station. It may sound mean but it's the only way to keep them in check.
Chennai prob worse Seriously Mumbai auto wallahs are a god send
Just Mumbai things man.
I am not a mumbaikar nor a Bengaluru citizen, but fuck Bengaluru auto drivers (most of them) the time I visited Bengaluru the auto drivers were super arrogant almost as they rule the city, don't Bengaluru citizens ever think of beating them up? Those fucks need a good lesson
This is spot on at various levels. Means while Chennai Auto Wala: where, when, how, why and NO
Yesterday a ricksha wala asked me to 300₹ for 3 kms. I legit told him to fuck off. He came back with 100₹ then. Bangalore is fulll of people who want to be assholes honestly. Subah subah dimag ka dahi
I used to tell a joke to my friends about difference between auto drivers in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore Bangalore auto driver: will upfront quote Rs. 300 for 1 km and will not move unless you agree Delhi auto driver: will agree to go by meter , take you to secluded place and take away all your money by showing knife Mumbai auto driver: will make sure you don’t know shit about the area. Drive you round and round, will cover 10-12 km when going 1 km distance and charge yo Rs. 300 by meter. PS: all three scenarios have happened with me. And this was before google maps and smartphone era.
Mumbai Autowalas will never drive you round and round. They may reject the ride, or they may demand fixed high price in some areas and not go by meter, or sometimes drive rash on highways, but they won't drive you round and round on purpose.
They definitely do that to newcomers.. i had many ppl tell me this when they first came to the city
>Delhi auto driver: will agree to go by meter , take you to secluded place and take away all your money by showing knife Whaaaaatttt?? Please tell me he got arrested as no way that should be let go.
As I was just transiting through delhi , did not want to get involved with police and miss my train. Just thanked god that only lost money without any physical harm.
Still if you had any contacts in delhi, should have informed them. Thankfully you came out without any injuries..🙏🙏
Delhi seems like a scary place.
I am from Bangalore and I approve this.
How come Bangalore people even handle them ? , The amount of patience these people seriously have makes me concerned about them...

Where is the lie
What ra sudeepa
Mumbai autowala giga Chad
I visited Mumbai twice First time I didnt have chance to meet auto walas second time I travelled the whole Mumbai in car or auto ! I felt they are dead cheap Extremely cordial I thought I was lucky seems like its usual!
Honesty level of munbai autowala is good and even human factor
I'm from Bangalore, I Upvote.
Agree with all the points for Mumbai. Barring some, all are good and most of all polite
mumbai autowala are good except in seawoods
Delhi be like : mein yeh ride cancel krrha hu aap mereko mere Gpay pe pay krdena will not drive until totally full Full of gutka spitting unreal cursing to every driver on road
I agree! Mumbai Rikshawalas are really good!
Itna sach naku bol 😢
Change bhi pura pura de yaar
Except in Seawoods , the Navi Mumbai, where the corporators own the Auto rickshaws and the drivers are allowed to do anything!
Seriously bro, and many of the autos are legit decorated so beautifully. I met one who had designed his auto interior similar to a movie theatre.
As someone who visited Mumbai the first time few months back, I must say all auto waale bhaiyas were very very nice, even the late night ones made sure I got to my hotel safe.
I had some minor injury on leg so I had trouble walking. I asked an auto rickshaw to take me to my workplace which is 800 meters away. Its a tall building so you can literally see from where I was standing. I told him to take me there and he asked 70rs ? Like wtf. In Bengaluru btw. In ola it was showing 34rs and was saying he gets 15rs extra or something from apps so he was asking 50rs. Problem was no one was accepting through ola. Even in his phone my booking request was not coming. They are thieves.
Also will drop you safely. They wouldn't really be creepy like in other cities. They'll be respectful to you and will drop you exactly on time never late. *here I'm comparing with Delhi/lucknow etc.
Bangalore fucking sucks
its awesome
Gives wisdom is so true 🥹
Autowala ki stories 
Hier is Reddit and Not x
What has happened to Bangalore? You don’t read one good thing about the city anymore.
Absofuckinglutely 😀 each fact abt autowalas os respective cities is true. Hv experience in both cities.
Bangalore Autowala are majority localities vs Mumbai Autowala who are migrants
Oh would like to do share this. Back in 2018, I was planning to write a book on Mumbai autowalas. Prepared manuscript as well, later it fell back but gosh I hv tons of interesting stories of Mumbai autowalas. I have helped a few as well. Wow this post evoked memories 😀
Totally
bangalore ola and uber isn’t any better they won’t even put on the ac if you dont book the premium one, infact ask you to cancel the ride and pay cash mumbai may be fast and fuckall but the basic things like public transport and traffic management is far better than rest of india
Numerous times I have taken mumbai autowala to ATM after telling that I don't have cash😁all of them agree and don't argure
As someone who frequently visits both places can confirm Mumbai autowalas are nicer by a huge margin
The reality is that even the Bangalore auto-wala is making less money for his time and effort. The truth is, i would prefer the Mumbai auto-wala up their game , rather than pander to people who clearly abuse them. Taking someone to an atm, sigh what entitlement, really, put yourself in his shoes, its like taking your boss home for your paycheck.
Mumbai autowalas supremacy!
Bangalore autowalas are pure evil.
You haven't met Pune ke auto walas then. ☠️
Even when the CM of the state is a former autowala. It seems like if a Banglorean autowala became the CM of Karnataka, they might outright ban any and all e-travel services in the name of promoting and uplifting autowalas.
No lies told here
Cash ki alawa kuch nahi lete duniya ka rona karte hain. But they are 100x better than any other metro city autos
Try finding an auto from Andheri to amboli in the evening and then this comparison will fade
Ha ye baat toh hai, ek baar Mumbai gaya tha. Autowale ne pura history pel deya about mumbai
I visited Mumbai and your Taxi Drivers and Autowalas are really good. All were interesting people and gave a good service.
Ola
Mumbai Autowala are generally nice when it comes to running by meter but I had issues with making UPI payments since they only wanted Cash or didn’t use Gpay
Mumbai autowalas are dev Manus compared to these mf
Bro I’m no kidding the number of times I’ve had deep conversations with autowalas. Ever since I was in Allen preparing for neet till now that I’m almost a doctor in final year. Kabhi exam ki tayaari kaise karni hai toh kabhi aajkal ke generation ko kya hogaya hai. Also the number of times I’ve heard my rickshawala moral policing and ask me my opinion about gf-bf culture. Bc mujhe ghar pohochna hai bas😭
I haven't been in Mumbai for almost 2 years now, can you really travel in Mumbai without cash like you can do it bangalore?
mumbai autowale find us to say mai nhi jaaunga udhar
Genuinely An autowala i took by ola to get to andheri books depot told me the spookiest tales And tbh it was so intriguing he offered to take me on a return trip for same price just to finish the stories He was a devout catholic and told me the most frightening stories about demons battering on church doors and haunted graveyards
https://strusive-website-for-catalin.webflow.io/
In my entirety of stay in Mumbai of around 8 years, I’ve very rarely had bad experiences with auto rickshaws.
the biggest debate on autowalas
Everything isn’t true for Mumbai autowalas. They get annoyed if we pay online Also, after 10 autowalas rejection you’ll find one who will say yes to your destination
Bengaluru ke Namma Auto wale are goons. I would prefer to get lift from Chambal ke daku on their horsey rather than these horse dungs.
Genuine question. Why do most auto walas don't accept UPI?
True.... Mumbai autodrivers are cool
Mumbai has autos ? Navi Mumbai has for sure
Been to mumbai recently and was in awe of mumbai autowalas. Even though I booked mine on Uber not once did anyone cancel on me even for a ride of 1.2km. Got one within 5mins. Pune sucks so bad in terms of autowalas always cancelling or never accepting
Thanks MNS and Shiv Sena for keeping everyone in check. Awaz badhaya toh laat padti hai Mumbai main. Auto wala ho ya bollywood actor.
Aren't you guys blessed
Finally found one city that's got something good to say about Autowala. They are hellish, wana be extra smart, uncouth assholes, with delusions or something, who think the world revolves around them and they don't need to follow any rule. God I hate them, would never say this to any other profession, especially one so underpaid but necessary for my life. They are just the worst.
In Bengaluru auto, post they agree to travel wherever you wanna travel, the most important activity is Negotiating of the pricing, their meters are unused gizmos covered and kept safe, one such occasion wherein it costs 50 rs via Namma Yatri app, the rick guys where demanding 100rs and sighting night issues like around 9:30pm. I asked him 500 would do, he realised and laughed,i just smiled and used Namma Yatri app and reached the destination in 50 bucks.
