AUTO
The auto rickshaws cannot be missed, as they are found everywhere and can be
recognized by the yellow colour and its three wheels. It is commonly referred to
as just 'auto'. It has a canopy for cover and the driver sits in the front.
There is usually a three seater at the back for passengers, though sometimes
more people can be accommodated.
The auto runs by metre and the passenger is charged by the kilometre. Autos are
popular as they are cheaper than taxis in Hyderabad. The auto metre starts from
a minimum amount and after the minimum distance travelled, it starts ticking,
adding the extra fare till you reach your destination.
Note: If you take a ride after 10:00 pm, the auto driver will demand an extra
fare of 'half return'. This means that if the meter displays INR 50, then an
additional half amount, i.e., INR 25 will be added and you will have to pay the
driver INR 75.
Most autos have a place at the back where you can keep some luggage. Make sure
you do not leave anything behind when you get out.
