Most Mumbaikars detest the largely rickety auto rickshaws and their hostile drivers, but can’t do without them either. This has led to proliferation of illegal three-wheelers in the city, a majority of them thronging the railway stations in the suburbs -- Borivli, Kandivli, Goregaon, Andheri, Bandra, etc -- honking incessantly and the drivers calling out to people at the top of their lungs to come for a ride.

Taking for a ride: Bandra station is known for unruly drivers plying illegal rickshaws. These vehicles operate under the share-a-rickshaw scheme and generally overcharge commuters. Representation pic
