Commuters speak
Narsimha Gupta said, "I had to attend a meeting. But thanks to the rickshaw drivers here, I'm going to get late for it."

Suhasini Mahadik said, "The moment an out-station train halts at Borivli, all the auto drivers prefer plying only passengers who alight from the train, as it gives them a chance to make an extra buck by charging them for luggage. However, in the bargain, it's the short distance commuters who suffer the most. It's time for the authorities to take stringent action against errant drivers."
