Avantika Ghadgil said, "Every morning, I ask around 10 autos before I board the one that agrees to ply me. Most drivers near station area are only interested in ferrying out-station passengers, as they can make an extra buck by charging them for luggage."
Sonia Chandra said, "There should be a separate rickshaw stand for local commuters, as most of the auto drivers snub them for out-station passengers. The drivers do this because they get more money from these passengers."
