    Good Job..! Auto drives booked for overcharging / Refusing to accept passengers to preffered destinations should be punished by Ban on the Driving licence for at least 5 years. Seize the Autorickshaw right away and release it with heavy fine.

  2. IT Nobody says:

    Try Operation Decoy near Hebbal Area where daily IT employees get scammed off by these auto drivers. I can guarantee all auto drivers will get booked.
