Commuters speak

Ashok Warke said, "On a daily basis, I'm subjected to at least 15 refusals before I find an auto that is ready to ply me. Despite requesting them, the errant autos ill-treat passengers."

Vaishali Malekar said, "Citing inflation, rising petrol and CNG prices, these rickshaw drivers ask for fare hikes from time to time. However, when it comes to executing their job of ferrying passengers, they are biased towards short distance passengers."
