Bangalore

I am jealous of one pride thing that Bangalore has - autorickshaws. Just for two reasons:

1. They charge the price shown in their untampered meters (maximum scandal is rounding off to the higher rupee).
2. They switch off their engines when they are sure it will take more than 30 seconds for the signal to turn green.

When compared to their Chennai counterparts, I find the following prevalent in Chennai:
1. Government -
- regulations not implemented
- most of the autos are owned indirectly by some Govt. officials

2. Auto drivers -
- Got used to the 'demanding' techniques
- Stand culture (not willing to work)

3. Public -
- Used to share auto culture
- Asking the driver to quote a price for the ride instead of sitting inside the auto and asking them to turn the meter on.

I do not see an end to this vicious cycle, do you?
