I am a Rapido bike taxi driver.I am very sad today. 🥺
Today four auto drivers threatened me and also abused me.
This happened to me today with an auto driver.
I will leave Rapido right now. The auto driver hates us a lot.
I came to Bangalore to do another job but could not find a job. The salary was very low. So I worked at Rapido. An auto driver did this for a few days. I am very sad today.

Biggest cheaters in Bengaluru is auto drivers, no fix charges, no manners

[realtestntry]

Strict action should be taken against the rickshaw drivers, and the government should fix their rates also.

[sumanth]

Very unfortunate...
Govt should focus on public transportation..
Let's see what they will do then??? 😅😅

[dreepk]

They should also take action against arrogant autodrivers and make a strict rule to follow meter, otherwise this would be the worst decision.

Is that only bike taxidrivers make the money? Rapido company and govt is not making money from rapido/bike taxi rides. Then why fine for only rapido/bike taxi driver?

[vaseemshaikh]

Maximum auto driver have too much attitude they won't come in ur emergency

Why meter is not made compulsory to auto in karnataka? Secondly as most of commuters knows the behavior of auto driver with the travellers is not appreciated in Tamil nadu, Andra pradesh and karnataka, being south Indian, i have seen 98% auto drivers are charging high.
No control of local transportation Authority on these

[Sharkskull]

Auto should be banned accross the nation. Increases Traffic, noise pollution + rude drivers.
