<p>A situation that would usually cause trouble to daily commuters turned ironic as Mumbaikars were relieved to see auto off streets on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Of the 12 participating unions, Mumbai Auto Rickshaw Mens' Union &mdash; the largest auto union led by Sharad Rao&rsquo;s son Shashank &mdash; forged ahead with its planned strike on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Habituated by usual threats, Mumbai, this time was prepared to brace the manic Wednesday and shared their experiences on Twitter. This is what they said.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/AutoStrike?src=hash">#AutoStrike</a> : Yesterday, decided to take auto instead of Ola. 5 of them refused. Never again!! These guys deserve to go out of business.</p>
