Commuters Speak
Reshma Sayed and Seema Lokhande, who were refused by an auto driver in the presence of a traffic cop, said, "We are in a hurry to reach Bandra station and this driver flatly refused us." Praising the campaign, they added, "I am so glad that MiD DAY is doing this campaign, these arrogant drivers must be a taught lesson."

Vatsal and Pushpendra Thakkar said, "Despite telling the drivers about our urgency to reach our destination, none of them refused to ferry us."

Sugrim Prajapati, who refused a fare in the presence of traffic police, said, "My auto is low on gas, so I refused. Moreover, I didn't notice the cops."
