Commuters speak
Kalpana Ramchandra Holkar said, "My sister is physically challenged. Despite pleading with the drivers to ferry us, they never agree. On a daily basis, we waste a minimum of 30 minutes before we get an auto."

Hyatudin Shaikh said, "These drivers lack respect for the elderly. It has become next to impossible to find an auto that is ready to ferry me to my residence at PMG Colony."
