Rickshaws man
Yesterday morning, I asked an auto rickshaw driver if he will take me to Seven Bungalows. As usual, he refused, and just stood there. Then I asked another passing auto rickshaw...he too refused and ran off. I asked a third one, he did not even bother to stop. Still, clinging on to dear hope, I requested one more empty auto...he just went off even without bothering to say "No".
Then I turned towards the first auto guy, who was standing there watching my futile efforts nonchalantly. I showed him my Uber app, and booked a cab within 30 secs, though with a nominal surge. Then I told him in Hindi that he should remember the past 10 minutes that he saw, when the auto unions go on strike this Monday. I tried 4 autos and then booked an Uber at surge price.
Inferences for the moron(s):
1. The business that the autos lose is not because of Uber/Ola. The fact is that the business that Uber/Ola get is because of the auto rickshaw drivers.
2. A thing the auto guys need to remember - public has enough money, but no time. So he will take an Uber immediately if you idiots waste his/her time.
3. Begging every morning for Auto guys to do their duties is not an idea of any human to start their day.
4. Union's won't get you your passengers back. Commitment will. And yes....strikes will just drive the customers further away from you, morons.
5. Auto Strike is awesome. Makes any city beautiful.
And finally....an inference for the Government.
If the government bows to the unions pressure for the votebank of autowallahs(half of them are anyway illegal) for sure....
They drive is in wrong ways and they play tricks to get more money by slowing down whenever traffic signals come. This is how the meters go up and rickshaw has become more expensive then cab like uber/ola. Rickshaws are not safe also. more

Agree that there are some who are polite but most of the time i experienced rude rickshaw man and it was too much when we are polite to them but they misunderstand our politeness by charging more or misbehaving. more

Some of them are polite and honest too. But people in general won't believe this unless they themselves find one . It is true that many among them are rude and discourtious and also cheaters. PRESENT ANGER IS AIMED AT THE DIRTY HUMANS DRIVING AUTOS TO EARN FAST MONEY .... COPY OF DIRTY NETA WE HAVE GOOD ONES ARE ALWAYS WORTH APPRECIATIONS more

Fortunately not all auto drivers are bad. Some of them are polite and honest too. But people in general won't believe this unless they themselves find one . It is true that many among them are rude and discourtious and also cheaters. There should be regular checking of their permits and identity. more

Mr Anil Jha, Good post. Dont worry. Kaali-Peeli will also extinct and they will only have to take the blame. Life is very cruel. If you dont fall in line, you are shuted out of the mainstream. Unfortunately, we come to know about it after the even and fail to hear the warning bells. more
