Question

How does one tackle "over charging" auto rickshaw drivers in Bangalore?

Answer 1

guess nothing b'case police were suppose to help you and get involve since everyone is effected but police gets under table money, free ride and what not so why would they do thier job to protect thier citizens

Answer 2

Negotiate and make your deal ahead of time. When you agree on a number write it in a scrap of paper , show it to the driver and keep it until you have payed and walked safely away. Dont be intimidated. We have had them stop midway on a journey and tell us to get out because they are "out of gas"  or  "a part has broken".  Don't be intimidated. If you speak the same language as the driver let him know ahead of time. no nonsense. this is the deal, take me the fastest route or cheapest  or whatever it is you want

Answer 3

Sorry boss its difficult to negotiate with auto persons especially in B'lore, if ur bout to go to some far of place.

If you are travellin in auto after 10 pm you've to pay double the cost.

If they demand u more before 10 pm then just ignore that auto n catch a new one.

Due to the appreciation of the IT employees in the city the auto drivers have taken it to advantage n demand h**l lot of money frm the strangers.

To over come this prob i suggest you a good idea, just catch a volvo bus frm ur nearest place, It provides good comfort n economical compared to auto fares n frequent buses are also available.
