Why are AUTO RICKSHAWS Not Yet BANNED ? 

Sikkim banned auto rickshaw..and their streets look beautifull with less noise.. One by one every city should do the same..Empower them with cabs..EV battery cars are good too

In my city Auto Rickshaw Union is so strong that when the municipal corporation tried to make City Bus Service with proper stops and EV Buses, they protest so hard that the government had to abolish the bus service. Now I see decaying bus stops all around the city.

Foreigners visiting India call it "Tuk-Tuk". It gets pretty annoying hearing them say that

1:28 My Dad and I always used to say that this old style Tata Nano felt like a better alternative to auto rickshaw! It was relatively safer. Of course now car safety rules with airbags etc. have improved... but auto rickshaw safety rules have not!

In South Mumbai Auto was always banned , so when we move from South Mumbai to Suburbs suddenly streets look lot different

Government should improve public buses and make more metro lines ..so automatically public will not choose autorickshaw and their market will shrink. I think this is better approach. Its all about choice, comfort and fare for public, once government provide better transport public will choose bus and metro😊

Vizag's Auto Union is so strong that Govt is not going ahead with the metro project fearing a backlash from them . Vizag Metro was proposed way back in 2014 and it's still stuck in DPR phase . These Autos don't do any good except for loot , traffic congestion and under development of Cities

Only if the government forced Bajaj, TVS, or even Tata/Mahindra to make actually good EV rickshaws.

Mumbai auto drivers are no different than F1 racers 😂😂

Rather than banning them when they provide impressive practicality, urge the likes of TVS/Bajaj to invest into building a safer shell and make sure to not increase price too much

The problem with India is that our cities have not been planned at all, thats why we have these alleys and small streets where a bus cannot go. Thats why cities have to be redeveloped and bus as well as Metro network should be expanded. I am glad that Delhi now has such a huge network of metro but along with that we also need a Tram network just like in Europe to serve last mile connectivity

People say india should work for common people we don’t need to do everything what west does. Some of it is true but if we want india to look beautiful we need to make hard choices. Recently I was watching Walking tour Columbia, now that country is very poor. But also very similar to india. What amazed me is concrete streets, paved footpaths, everything is paved in cities. They also have people making shops on reads and so much traffic but they also had traffic lights, pedestrian crossing, street food was prepared but they were wearing gloves everything was somewhat good. We india have tendency to ignore these things. We have unpaved streets, electric wires, bike riders going crazy, autos going crazy. Just see Russian cities and rural area, India have better Rural area and facilities than Russia but look at their cities you can’t say it is a poor country. This is overlooked by Indian government. And Indian people saying we don’t need to follow west or attacking when someone point out these things doesn’t help either. We need to bring laws to solve Autos, street vendors, street food, electric wires problem

Everyone has a union except the "Middle Class Ppl" & thats the reason why we suffer the most injustice!!! We need a Government thats thinks abt everyone equally!

I am a student of class 10th and had been in an accident of auto was taking us home when we got in an accident with a truck my friend died and I broke my collarbone auto should be made more safer or should be banned from city's 😢

Tata and Mahindra should launch EV versions of Tata Iris and Mahindra Jeeto, which can be good alternative to auto rickshaws.

Dude!!! How do you read our minds? This is exactly the video we wanted forever.

If we see the price of auto riksha and tata nano car thos to has same price then why they not use tata nano car as alternative 😮❓❓❓❓

Meanwhile in Bengal we are infected with another problem of Toto (e-rickshaws). They are literally taking over cities, towns and villages. Even though they don't pollute air or noise, but still in excessive number it is going to be a problem

Passanger should boycott autos ... Increase ues of public buses , metro.

Congratulations 👏🎉🎉 Indian FOOTBALL ⚽ ⚽ teams Men and Women, both are participating in Asian Games on September 23👍🙏❤️🚩 जय श्री राम🚩🚩 Efforts resulted well Jeep on doing hardwork Best of luck 🤞 Indian Football ⚽😊😊😊

People saying to ban the auto rickshaw but some people run their family in that auto rickshaw

Markets decide modes of transport. Autorickshaws are as convenient & useful to public as cars, buses or trains. It can't go away. It's another wonderful mode of transport, catering to people. However, E-rickshaws, design changes for safety, noise, economy, driver training wrt discipline / behaviour, etc... , will make it a great mode in the future. Cars add to congestion too. Why not ban them? Can't, right? Co-existence of all modes.

Approx 1 crore mans are employed with this rickshaw how can government ban this

These will def fade away as urban transit will become more robust.

Small affordable taxis should be the way ahead. Something similar to London black cab can work as a good alternative.

I know a auto route in west Bengal where auto takes 8 passengers so total 9 people in one auto. I'm talking about those small autos similar to mumbai autos not the big ones

2:54 See how that rickshaw driver is driving wrong side along with a passenger 😂😂😂

Tbh autos are a big big road hazard , my daily commute is rough because of autos , most of them dont even follow rules , they slow down speed up randomly break randomly , start on mainroad without any indicators or horn or anything, ị nearly died one day because i had just exited a roundabout and was accelerating towards the main road and out of nowhere a auto came in the middle lane from stand still within 2 seconds. I saved it luckily . This was a much needed amazing video ❤

That's so true for Bangalore, as they do whatever they want and act as a bully in the city as they know they have powerful hands above them. The charge random rates and people are also happy to pay 10%-20% less than a 4 wheeler Uber/Ola to risk their life. You will see instances where the Rickshaw drivers would harass their customer and also might extort money from them. It has been 4yr+ that I haven't rode a Auto rickshaw because of their behavior, the price and the compromise in safety.

Auto rickshaw unions are pretty powerful and have a lot of political leverage. However they can eliminated if using rickshaws for commute becomes uneconomical for us or driving them becomes not profitable for the drivers, either of which is possible in next 15-20 yrs.

Any major upgrade on an auto rickshaw that i have ever seen on my life was those pink e-rickshaw i saw near statue of unity. I loved that design...

Rickshawwaala : Rejects ride Average Mumbaikar :

Autos price in delhi is same as ola uber For same distance

Ban Cars and Bikes too. Public Transport shall be MUST in our society whether it's big or small towns.

Too much power is dangerous. I recently saw a Bangalore video where a person was returning home from hospital with his new born baby and the Auto wala was vandalising his car. The police was asking him to compromise with the Auto wala... this is India. sad

The auto rikshaw union is very strong it opposes every bus route

So why not we ban 3 wheeler from congested area of each city that is already mark?🔥

Because some of the ias ips are their sons & daughter 😅 it gives students extra motivation when their father's an auto rickshaw driver

E rickshaw are killing auto sales

Our traffic rules, discipline and infrastructure is a joke.

Actually Auto Rickshaw is most needed it cannot be irradiated but it can be transformed in Cab services but Buying a car for it and traveling cost for passengers will be very high. So we have to focus in making rikshaw more safe.

Few years back Bajaj introduced Quad rickshaw (BAJAJ QUTE) A four wheel car with size and engine of an auto. This would good change considering all aspects

My dad is an autorickshaw driver, and I think bad people are in every aspect of life as they are in autorickshaw industry as well. But banning them is not a good idea (people are earning their livelihood), and if banning is a solution then we should ban the street hawkers as well. If you are in Delhi, try to go to some old colonies.. you will see they have literally occupied the 100 FT roads totally.. And talking about the growing concern, then we should be more and or worried about the Growing population.. because that is the root cause of all...

First banned Auto Rickshaw in Karnataka as soon as possible

Many of you will definitely differ, but the engine in recent TVs, bajaj or even ape are super smooth

Nowadays E rikshas are way adventurous than auto rikhas

True very unsafe. My father barely survived when auto fliped due to pot hole. He sustained major head injury.

Bhai Rickshaw se lakho logo ka ghar chalta hai... Pehle he unemployment hai inko bhi ban kr denge toh bas hogaya kalyaan

In my city, there are no reserved autos, only shared autos with fixed routes.. & most of the routes are based on slim narrow roads & within localities.. and most of the big roads are auto less..

Big sharing autorickshaws must be promoted instead of small private ones as they are more safe & affordable to all.

Rickshaws are a menace. Especially when they reject rides, drive ruthlessly risking passenger and other commuters’ road safety and the terrible attitude that some of the rickshaw drivers have! Road rage is almost second nature to most of them.

The main reason for not banning the auto(s) is because it is the backbone of our service sector and also contribute so much in our economy

traffic cars ki wajah se hoti hai, rickshaw se nahi.

in my opinion just like japan we should encourage walking so that atleast till 2km distance people just simply walk then auto rickshaw problem will be half solved as around 2km is enough distance for a major road to be so we can catch a bus easily.

In Bangalore Autos are becoming a menace, No traffic rules they follow, Rude and arrogant behaviour and cause road rage and make a scene in public. Most of them are basically rowdies & goons who are just making a living. As rowdyism is no more a profession. Autos should be banned in main roads, highways & Crowded city centres. Last mile connectivity can be implemented based on areas. But should be banned in City limits.

The main reason is it looks so ugly as well, most of them are not well educated and typically have connections with the local goons so they have no manners or etiquette on how to speak with passengers and etc. And because of their lack of education, it also points to the safety concerns of the passengers, especially women. Most auto drivers don't even follow traffic rules and mess up all the road traffic management. Government should really find some solutions to ban these or at least improve the auto industry.

Auto rickshaws wala needs to trained and disciplined. But India rural population has so much impact in smaller but developing cities that we have to follow their directions. You can’t change the narrative. Even in cities , it becomes so mandatory to use auto rickshaw bcoz there is no other options majority of time. And now a days erickshaw has take over they are worst same as rickshaw but slower and no pickup power. They try to get between cars but they are so slow that they cause so much chaos and traffic.

Autorikshaws are very convenient vehicles in cities. Very conveneient to maneuver it in narrow street's. And when we compare its accident rate with motorcycles it is very low. Motorcycle should be banned if considering its accident rate. . And if there is behavioral problems with drivers it is the problem of our society not exclusively for autos....

#AskPT Why government didn't promote people to use bicycles and government transport system in alternate to auto rickshaw and give subsidiary to purchase cycle and make a advertisement campain to make people fit?

These Autos are not the problem, The Problem is the person driving them, Just like others they also get the licence for Rs 5000, meaning they don't know how to drive and how to actually use the roads, Fix this problem and Auto will be not a problem,

if rickshaw has a million haters, then i am one of them. if it has ten haters, then i am one of them. if he has only one hater then that is me. if rickshaw has no haters, then that means i am no longer on earth. if the world loves rickshaw, then i am against the world.

Found a guy with similar thought on autorickshaw the owners don't maintain them properly and you no irritating grinding noise also watch about center of gravity and 3 tigada kaam bigada ye kahabhat to yad he and ban kati autorickshaw को aur taxi service start karoo

My city have more e-riksha maybe , it seems that way

As Nitin Gadkari said "Indian RTO is competing with chambal dacoits" and as long as this statement is relevant, nothing can be done!!!

Agree with all the points and very soon we will be launching our revolutionary EV Auto which will transform the city's transportation landscape.

Cars are too inefficient. You need parking spaces, they are space inefficient and also carbon emitting. Autos are excellent for last mile public transport infrastructure. The same road with high auto rickshaw density carries way more people than cars, also they run on CNG or electric, which is much better for emissions.

A question comes to my mind always why does Ev autos charge same as gas auto ?

Actually auto are there from a long time so it has became a convinent and cheap way to travel around than taxis so people mostly opt for auto and on auto many people's houses are running so government also cannot ban them asap they must do some plan and then implement it 🤔

It's not about banning autos it's about managing public transport, safer, reliable & cost-efficient giving more jobs

Very serious issue bro 👍 Rickshaw wale bahut baar manmani karte hein aur public se maarpit karte hein chahe galti unki ho 😢

India is so cheap I am never going back there

Rickshaws are absolutely the most dangerous as well as the drivers are quite rude.

rickshaws should never be banned. they provide a livelihood to a large population in our country.

Modifying auto to become a powerful vehicles 😂 imagine being run on terrains ,we can use it to fight enemies 🎉🎉🎉

In pune minimum charge to step in is 150

okay so here's the things we can do 1st... we need proper MODERN bus stands with modern buses which work on time (not like those Congress era buses which were almost on the brink to fall apart, with doors open so that the person will run and jump into it before it misses, lol still remember that) 2nd... we must make people rely more on Metros and Buses, so to bring people to these stands, we must do something which acts as a cheap bridge, well why not convert all Autos for this purpose only? separate lanes, with relatively bigger, modern Autos, which are actually smaller Electric cars (which can be made as big as a Nano, or Iris or Jeeto as said in a comment by someone below), the people can be said to do this task only, and forcing companies to undertake this route thus the clutter on normal roads, should relatively stop due to Autos, and people shall resume going in metro trains or buses we should make these 2 so good in terms of quality, pricing per ticket, availability, accessibility, better planned, and much more safer, with being on time, that too regularly in certain time periods... we can do this, there's an Auto, if someone doesnt wanna use his car, he hops into an auto rickshaw, and as they are said to ONLY move up till stations or bus stands, they shall abide by this, and do so, then when boarding a bus, the bus should incorporate some UPI like model, where the driver just sits, and the QR code should be made to be scanned by the person near the entrance (ensured by some conductor) so that their tickets get validated, and they begin to just take a seat and move on to the next destination, the distance between the time interval (if one bus gets missed) shall be very small, for the same route, almost 5-10 mins only, so that people wait and take it... I think also almost half the Auto rickshaw drivers can be persuaded into driving buses or some bigger vehicles or do some better jobs in transportation side, so that, due to the HIGHER MONEY earnt, they automatically themselves too, leave driving autos... a great public infrastructure model, with great quality of buses and metro trains, on an even bigger and more REGULARITY based scale, can indeed do wonders for Indian roads, almost half the traffic is of autos on roads, thus roads will also free up a little bit we cannot totally BAN these things in one go and expect them to not revolt, instead we must do it slowly, I think if we wanna become developed by 2047, then surely we still have 20 more years, we can indeed do something in this time period also the higher amount of money being earnt by the Auto rickshaw drivers turned bus drivers or Electronic small cabs drivers, will also further off their poverty trap and the lowest of the lowest earning people, could finally rise up too.. this can be sustained as Indian middle class is growing more and more, they would be able to afford all of these newer facilities if made compulsory thus yes, things can be changed and it would benefit all (not the lobby btw who makes these autos) then maybe government can play an UNO reverse... Govt can indeed give some incentives to these manufacturers to produce smaller Electronic cabs (size of a NANO) and buses or their components... and try to woo them somehow... if the lobby also agrees to this, then the problem from top to bottom, shall be finished government should seriously look into all this...

Auto Rickshaws can access areas that Metros and Buses can't. I think it would be a good idea to abolish Autos on main thoroughfares and routes which basically can be accessed by Buses and Metros. The issues regarding fuel consumption, noise, safety can be considered later. Regulating capacity can be done later.

Ameer admi kuch bhe chalaye bullet ya hayaboosa koi nhi bolega😂😅....Aur Gareeb admi ke cycle se bhe problem hai

In my city in West UP. Government started EV busses(30 busses) 2 years back and i think it's better than auto rikshaw. There should be more busses and public transport in each city and autos should be ban

Rikshaws must be banned by India government as soon as possible..

I think autos ko banned kerna chaiye ....for India's development and ese pollution, traffic kam hoga main thing streets autos ke bina aachi dikhegi..esa alternative I think london ki tarah black cab ho sekti hai ...when foreigners said tuk tuk it's really irritated me 😑😑 please government of India take some action against auto rickshaws and banned them please

This is an excellent video. I agree auto rickshaws should be banned. Else their manufacture and operation should be heavily regulated.

It is too radical to ban autorickshaw It is a good mode of transport who not want to drive or not know driving .

They stop anywhere on road it's most annoying

Make fibre auto rikshaw then see how rikshavale will get well disciplined

India should Ban bikes and Autorickshaws.....travel in public transportation for safety! bloody chapris!

Bhai Aaj ghatkopar me ek rikshaw me betha tha, literally g*nd fat gai 💀 itna khatarnak auto driver nahi dekha 😰 direct wrong side ke bicho bich ghussa Diya usne full speed me or esa cut mar raha tha ki mano kisi movie ki shooting chal Rahi ho💀

No need to ban, improve, public transport infrastructure, bring back trams system in tier 2 cities. Then automatically, these rickshaw will decline.

Auto Rikshaw/E-Rikshaw/Toto is creating problem everywhere in India...drivers are very unskilled that they don't follow basic traffic rules😡 they must be banned in our country

Your analysis is one sided and mostly focused on wrong impact of Auto rickshaw. Auto rickshaw has also played positive role in our society. Public demand of auto rickshaw is so high that even after introduction of Ola, Uber nd other service , Metro lines in Mumbai they are not able to completely replace Autos. Yes it is not safe as compare to Cars but still i think cars accidents incidents are more than Autos. Suggest to also do analysis on good impact of Auto. Main reason why Govt cant ban it bcoz it provides livelihood to huge numbers of people in India. Unemployed guy can start earning money by just investing 3lac which he can repayb in 2-3 years easily. This might not sound big to many people but for some it is a success story.

#AskPT Govt should ban all rickshaw and cheap vehicles then only rich people would be able afford cars and bikes. This will reduce the traffic and horn problem wouldn't exist. And not just that accident, air pollution, usage of fuels will also decrease (india will save alot of foreign reserves). People will start to use public transport and govt should electrify those public transport vehicles and put a ban on selling of fuel vehicles. But govt should take one step at a time. If you think I'm wrong or have any suggestions then please give me a valid point👇🏼

Though I share the same thought process but its almost impossible and impractical to ban autos. 1. Banning Autos mean we need more cars or buses on the roads, which would take even more space and create more jams. 2. The mass transport system wont be sufficient for the huge population of India. 3. Major public transport systems do not cater to the last mile destination. Options: 1. Restrict movement of autos in core city areas. 2. Make the the rear and front see-through, when driving behind an auto many accidents are caused due to the fact that unlike cars you dont get to see whats coming from the opposite side. 3. Make them noise free and horn free, improved engine. 4. Restrict seats and put half uncomfortable doors/guards to limit over loading. 5. Create zones which limits autos from traveling all over the city, one zone auto cannot ply to another zone, color code them from easy detection and penalise for non compliance. 6. 'Cooling hours'. Certain time within the day should be 'auto-free' time. Special permits for plying overnight. 7. More frequent and affordable public mass transport systems lime trams and metros to connect major junctions. 8. Subsidised public transport cards for aged, students, women, essential workers, BPL. 9. Campaign about the 'Unsafe auto rides' like we have for anti smoking campaigns. 10. Levy ' annual road safety tax' on auto owners at a higher price, multiplied by the factor of the age of the vehicle. 11. Make them totally app based, thus avoiding unnecessary plying on the roads looking for passengers. Only EVs can do taxiying.

Until there is no last mile connectivity with buses and metro, this thing will continue.

Auto drivers drive as if they have a baggage put behind.

In Delhi,haryana,west UP there are more E rikshaw than autos and trust me e rikshaw drivers are worse

भाई कौन से दुनिया में जी रहा ऑटो रिक्शा का इंजन BS फेस 2 तक अपडेट हो चुका मेरे पास ऑटो है उसका आवाज स्प्लेंडर से भी काम आता है । अब तो सीएनजी सस्ता है इसलिए गाड़ियों में सीएनजी ज्यादा उसे किया जाता है उससे धुआ भी नहीं आता । 15 20 साल पुरानी डीजल गाड़ियां चलती है जिससे धुआ निकलता है तुम किसी को दिखता नहीं और आ जाते हैं बन करने का आईडिया लेकर सब गरीब रिक्शावाला उनके पेट पर लात मारने । वीडियो में बताई गई आधी बातें झुठी है दोस्तों , ऑटो रिक्शा कितने लोगों का रोजगार है परीक्षा बन होने के बाद महंगी गाड़ी खरीदने के लिए पैसे यह बैन करने कि बात करने वाले देगे या इनके बाप देगे

May be lobbying by manufacturers & auto rickshaw unions are the cause that may be the reason for not banning them . On top of that lack of efficient public transport like buses with their own dedicated lanes to increase their speed .

New 3 wheel drives should be banned from commissioning.

A compact manauverable 4 wheelers can be a solution to these autorickshaws A hybrid engine for long distance travel and electric one for short range should be implemented replacing the present one and a subsidised micro 4 wheelers should be provided to autowallas

All we need as public boycott Autos
