Some commenters blamed Bengaluru's auto-rickshaw unions for the rising fares, while others noted that cabs often cost the same as autos in peak hours. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: auto fares, Bengaluru, government regulation, Rapido, ride-hailing, Uber Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bengaluru-woman-urges-government-to-regulate-uber-rapido-fares/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
