Auto rickshaws are a good mode of transport in Hyderabad for places close by. The auto rickshaws cannot be missed, as they are found everywhere and can be recognised by the yellow colour and its three wheels. It is commonly referred to as just ‘auto'. It has a canopy for cover and the driver sits in the front. There is usually a three seater at the back for passengers, though sometimes more people can be accommodated.
The auto runs by metre and the passenger is charged by the kilometre. Autos are available at airports, railway stations and bus stands. They are found even in shopping areas and in residential localities in and around Hyderabad. Autos are popular as they are cheaper than taxis in Hyderabad.
Sometimes the auto driver (auto wallah) will also play his favourite tracks on his music system. The auto metre starts from a minimum amount and after the minimum distance travelled, it starts ticking, adding the extra fare till you reach your destination.
Note: If you take a ride after 10:00 pm, the auto driver will demand an extra fare of ‘half return'. This means that if the meter displays Rs 50, then an additional half amount, i.e. Rs 25 will be added and you will have to pay the driver Rs 75.
Most autos have a place at the back where you can keep some luggage. Make sure you do not leave anything behind when you get down.
