Autorickshaws in Bengaluru are known for quoting exorbitant fares for short rides, leading to dissatisfaction among commuters.
Mandar Natekar, CEO of NeuralGarage, complained on X (formerly Twitter) about auto drivers in Bengaluru not using the fare meter. He paid ₹100 for a 500-meter ride, while in Mumbai, the same fare would cover approximately 9 kilometers.
Twitter users resonated with Natekar's experience and shared similar stories from other cities, mentioning that the metered fare system is not prevalent in most places.
