Bengaluru autocracy: 'Faulty' meters, aggressive drivers leave commuters feeling cheated; Internet flooded with 'Rs 400 for 4 km' stories

Passengers express frustration online about overcharging. They question why authorities target bike taxis instead of addressing auto fare issues. Many feel helpless and demand action against unfair practices. The Transport Department needs to intervene.
