Bangalore Travel and Transport: Travel by Auto Rickshaw - Bangalore, India, IN
Perhaps the ultimate way to travel in Bangalore is aboard one of the city's iconic, three-wheeler auto rickshaws, which are often known simply as 'autos'. Usually bright yellow in colour and featuring modern electronic meters (make sure these are used), auto rickshaw transport has the advantage of being able to squeeze through some congested traffic. Bangalore auto rickshaws feature a minimum charge and are metered per kilometre thereafter, and are especially plentiful outside of the City Train Station. Be warned - the journey can be bumpy!
