Why do people take advantage of you in Bangalore?

I was at a friends place and it suddenly started raining heavily. I had to reach my girlfriends place ASAP. She was already very angry that I was not spending enough time with her. The problem was that I was not getting any auto on Uber or Rapido.

I stopped an auto and asked it for a ride. He quoted Rs 800 for a 4km ride. I was like, "Are you crazy?" I somehow negotiated it down to Rs. 500. But it made me wonder why is this city like this.

Like everyone is trying to scam you. Every one is a grifter, from your landlord to auto wallahs to the cops.

Have you faced such things in this city?

You shouldn't have taken the ride, now you encouraged him even more, that people are okay to pay 500 for even smaller distances if it's raining.

I appreciate your loyalty to Uber but try on other apps too especially during monsoon times, I am sure you would have gotten a cab in less than what it cost you.

I always take 15 mins in my bucket before leaving for anyplace, getting a ride in banglore during peak office hours and monsoon is hectic but wayyyy better then convincing an Anna that you are looting us, they genuinely don't give a shit.

Auto drivers are very rude charge unnecessarily extra and later complain Ola and Uber is taking their market.

In mumbai you go by meter in Auto. So for 2KM we have to hardly pay 50 Rupees. But here in Bangalore I had to pay 160 rupees once for 2 km.
