Auto's....no!!!!!



I’m sick, tired and irritated with these autowallas… Chennai is a nice place to live in, as long as you want to go somewhere and decide an auto to be your conveyance. Believe it just means hell breaking loose… this place has autowallas who just charge depending on the place you coming out from or way people have dressed… The way they charge is just terrible… these people always just seem to run at multiples of 20. Even if you want to go some meager 2kms they will be like “gimme at least 40rs!! ” what!!! And when you say its like very high they start of calling you names and saying about how the sky is falling correctly on their head… sad man. Seriously the state of the autos in this city is just pathetic… Trust me. They can go kms without any passenger but if you ask them to drop you somewhere nearby for a reasonable charge they’ll be like “price hike ma. Sorry” and demand for something like its double… I don’t know what they think but I guess they think all those who travel in an auto are some multi millionaires in some I-love-auotwallas-and-I’m-ready-to-give-them-anything game show….
Price hike has made everyone worry but its these people who know how to make hay while the sun shine or in better words how to make money while price hikes… its then their already skyrocketing prices are jus doubled… or guess if there is some hartal(Here most of them are hardly violent) and life proceeds as usual but its only and only if you hafta travel by an auto you realize… they take up the opportunity to rub us clean outta money…traveling by them in simple words means paying through your nose…
They should realize people go for other means as simply not everyone can afford an auto ride…It would be for their own good if they charged in a sane manner…
In every city I know.. even the metro’s like mumbai, banglore have proper auto services and they charge them by proper totally working meters!!
Almost every issue in this state is taken care of. But when will this problem be ever looked into!!! Why don’t we take up the cue and work to improve our present state…Will we be ever able to see a day when we can travel with a sane motor running and fare decently charged on it!! Guess I'm asking for too much…
