While more than 45,000 auto rickshaws ply on the city roads daily, the number of authorised auto stands is a mere 940. This implies that about 50 three-wheelers are expected to make use of a single facility, which seems impossible considering the limited room and heavy traffic on the roads.

The PMC plans to delineate the actual space near auto stands in next three months, where the vehicles can be parked without disrupting the traffic flow. PMC Traffic Planner Sriniwas Bonala assured that work on demarcating spaces for auto stands would be over by October.
