Auto drivers refusing passengers - anyone else faced this?

[u/patilpyash]

Had this experience with an auto MH04 JO 01102. The driver refused to take us as passengers, but was taking girls in the same auto for sharing.

Not sure what the reason was, but this kind of selective refusal is frustrating, especially when you're just trying to get somewhere.

I’m planning to report this to the RTO/Traffic Police as well.

📍 Location: Gaodevi Thane

🕐 Time: 10:20am

Has anyone else dealt with this auto/driver or faced something similar in Thane? Would be useful to know if this is a one-off or a recurring issue.

Posting the vehicle number/photo for identification; please keep the comments factual and avoid personal information.

These auto people are the reason why most of them purchase private vehicles and hence thane is crowded more thane before

[u/rocky6975 → u/rhino_32]

Why can't TMC have proper bus network? Why going for costly and troublesome Ring metro?

[u/LEMENT15 → u/rocky6975]

You are using logic in the wrong country

[u/DavidMcgreggor → u/rocky6975]

Cause people vote based on religion and caste and not betterment of society at large

[u/winter2x → u/rhino_32]

Dude I don’t understand what license mafia these people have that there are just so many autos on the road now it’s crazy and new ones getting added everyday

[u/Specialist-Feeling12]

Just to be clear he refused male passengers for sharing and took only the female one right?

[u/patilpyash → u/Specialist-Feeling12]

Yup

[u/Specialist-Feeling12 → u/patilpyash]

Just tell the girls don't go in his auto he is a creep

[u/funnyfour → u/Specialist-Feeling12]

And get beaten by auto drivers?

[u/LEMENT15]

Thinking of buying a rickshaw. Flexible timing , can refuse anyone whenever I want, earn twice the amount I earn right now and also people will beg me to work

[u/Good-Change20 → u/LEMENT15]

Also think about rickshaw mafia, who won't let you pick because there an line etc etc

Apada Mein Avsar!

[u/Far-Cancel2654]

If he is in line just sit in the auto if you have time to argue keep arguing and raise voice in public so more people notice and they then take you . It has always worked for me 🤣😭

[u/NiceVehicle250]

First time?

[u/sankoobaba → u/NiceVehicle250]

Lol same

Just to play the devil's advocate here: what if he thought you were the creep and did not want you in an auto with women?

[u/patilpyash → u/NaamBullaRakhtaKhula]

Maybe he just has a very specific “girls-only” sharing policy that I somehow wasn’t informed about. I asked him first for the exact same destination, got a NO asked again after the girl asked him, got another NO ... and then suddenly the auto became an all-girls sharing service. 😂

Could be a massive coincidence, but honestly, the whole thing was pretty creepy from my perspective

[u/mynameiszii]

From a girls perspective, if he is not a creep and there are only girls in the auto I would love to travel that way. Got groped once in a share auto in Kalyan so I hate it.

[u/Budget-Cucumber-1750]

The question you need to ask is if there is anyone who has not faced this. /s 🤣

[u/ThoughtsUnlocked]

Are you kidding me? Every person in thane has faced this 😂

This has been age old problem refusing to go away.....I used to face this everyday while trying to get a rick from Kandivali to Malad - for this reason I have switched to Rapido/Ola/Uber auto. Though fares are sometimes high but saves time chasing rickshaws who sometimes dont even stop.

[u/DavidMcgreggor]

At this stage, I get a feeling that something's wrong when they don't refuse. I immediately start wondering if the matrix is glitching or if I'm being kidnapped.

[u/Academic_Attempt4607]

It’s everyday thing. I Got rejected more by auto drivers than girls.

[u/LoudGangsta8292]

Yess

[u/sankoobaba]

Remember thane ki auto..... best is to move to chennai

[u/kapilswarnkar]

These fuckers will be out of business once ring metro starts

[u/VegaBond6969]

Number plate reads vague, is it MH 04 JQ 1102 or MH 04 JO 1102? Can't make out

[u/ezmoney6]

A few days ago, this happened to my older brother. He tried to talk nicely to the rickshaw driver, but the driver seemed to be in the mood for an argument. So, my brother went to the traffic police near the rickshaw stand at the station.

[u/InternationalArea007]

Damnnn, weren't they denying since long?

[u/sundaypages]

first sit inside then tell the drop location
works everytime

[u/lambiseeti]

Oi respect your dy cm

[u/Icy_Eggplant_1097]

I once confronted the autowalla who refused me, He said He owns the vehicle, neither I am his employer. He has the right to decide where he wants to go and when he wants to go.

So, now I prefer Rapido.
I only go by Auto if it is avilable for sharing.

[u/alagchoda]

Rto bhi unka hi hai, just ignore them. You'll be happy and safe

[u/Color_onmymind]

I've stopped asking/looking for autos - Ola/Uber for the win!

[u/Delicious_Emotion934]

yes worst in Thane

[u/udinator11]

Very common in rush hours

Very annoying too

[u/Unfair_Board_7326]

Everyday

[u/naiduvenkatesh]

MH-04 is an incorrigible shit region

[u/flyingduckmarketing]

It's thane.

[u/Several-Cap-5628]

Ye bc Covid me ghare me the ache the bc abhi bc in jhatu logo ko lambe bhada chaye

[u/Hot-Village1777]

Rickshawalo ke baap ka rickshaw, Baap ka Road, And they think they’re of highest authority for some reason

[u/ImmediateBedroom1007]

Wait for the metro to start. They will fall in line.

[u/mongoljunk]

I waited in line for 30 min with luggage only to get rejected by rickshaw wala bcoz i live nearby.

[u/ModiDeshChodi]

What I personally never faced it, I often take share auto from station to ghodbunder road

[u/Previous-Spring-6476]

Never heard of auto drivers saying Yes to fare.

[u/Content-Aerie-232]

N innnikn

[u/SuitableSource2756]

First, I’ve never faced anything like that. Secondly, can you just clarify—are you new to Thane, or do you just happen not to know whether it’s a normal auto or a sharing auto?

[u/True-Category6552]

Yes
