Autos rule the roads in Chennai

I have been to Chennai this week on official work. I had to travel a lot in Chennai during this trip. I had to resort to autos for transport. For those who haven't visited Chennai before, you will have to depend on the whims and fancies of the autowalla when you use them.

The autowallas will quote some random fare to reach the destination. These prices are usually some nice round numbers like 100, 150, 200 etc. You either take it or leave it.
The meters on these autos are just for decoration. Donot commit the cardinal sin of insisting on the use of meter. You will end up paying more than what he quoted.

I can only hope to live to see pre-paid autos with reasonable rates in Chennai.
