Another added, “I’m from Mumbai and visit Bengaluru occasionally, and I totally agree with your view about Uber India and autos. Both are a nightmare in Bengaluru.”

“I haven’t seen a change in the last ten years, not sure why the auto drivers ask more than the agreed price once the ride is completed. Almost 95% of the time it happens!” shared a third.

A fourth expressed, “Drivers always ask to cancel the drive and pay in cash!”
