Auto in chennai is not only a state shame but national shame. Only political parties (most stupid) both Dravadian parties, because more than 50% are owned by them only. Having travelled all over India, I dont think that woman can be trated so cheaper than on chennai roads by these auto drivers. I am not over doing, but 99.9% autos are culprits and uncivilized. a big drawback in chennai more people rely on these vehicle (like train in mumbai) for travelling from point A to B in time and other transport systems are in very bad shape (buses) or not well conneted. Its unfair to call them as chennites but can call them as Crude Tamilians. Karunanidi and Jaya should die the state will get the real freedom... Dear all..

Private players being allowed to enter the market would indeed benefit people tremendously. In fact, I feel that people may not mind paying even a higher price. What angers and irritates them is the knowledge that they are being taken advantage of, and being charged based on the individual driver's perception of how much can be got out of them, instead of a systematic appraisal that is uniform. Dear Mr. Gopalakrishnan,

They are so poorly maintained. Would the Respective Authorities look into this issue seriosly as it would change the face of Chennai into a much prettier one!
