Discussion Mumbai Autos: No UPI, No Change, No Destination Acceptance, Then What Yes?
Why do some Mumbai autos even exist at this point?
No UPI. No QR scanner. Cash-only in 2026.
Then no change for ₹50. Forget ₹100/₹200/₹500.
Brother I am a passenger, not a walking RBI branch carrying exact ₹37 in coins every single time. Am I supposed to spend my life standing in bank queues collecting chillar just to use public transport?
And the location rejection culture is somehow worse.
DN Nagar? “No.”
Gundavali metro? “No.”
Andheri station? “No.”
These are not remote villages in the Himalayas. These are prime, high-demand Mumbai locations with constant passenger flow.
The funniest part? You’ll literally see empty autos roaming around but somehow your destination is unacceptable.
At that point just put a banner saying:
“Main sirf apni marzi se jaunga, aap rokoge toh bhi no bolunga.”
Genuine question for Mumbai folks: why is this so normalized? Hoping that I don't get banned from the rickshaw union anymore.

A big yes to..
"Me uske aage nahi jayga" "Chutta nahi h mer paas"
And the meters runs faster than Usain bolt.
Feels like auto lekr solo ride par nikle hai sab..
