Earlier, the video of another Bengaluru auto driver breaking down while speaking of low wages in the city had gone viral on the internet. The driver said that he received wages as low as ₹40 even after driving for long hours. Posting the video on X, a user wrote, “A Bengaluru auto driver in tears after collecting just ₹40/- from 8 am to 1 pm. This is the result of free bus rides given by the new Cong govt in Karnataka. Pushing people into poverty.”
Reacting to the video, a user wrote, “This is a huge concern. Women who can afford auto rickshaws being allowed free bus-rides disrupts the economic balance of the state. Stability can only come back after a large chunk of autorickshaws go out of the streets and their drivers find alternate avenues of earning. Congress with its shortsighted votebank-freebies plan has waded into serious trouble.”
