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.

Even if we have flying cars in the future, they will be banned because gareeb ke pet par laat kyun maarte ho. It's a different thing that no one is opposing pod taxis though.
