India, July 5 -- At a time when complaints about auto rickshaw drivers are on the rise in Bengaluru, one commuter's surprisingly smooth experience has caught the attention of many online.

Sharing the moment on X (formerly Twitter), a resident wrote about hailing an auto "the old way" after a long time. To their surprise, the driver stopped without hesitation, agreed to the destination instantly, turned on the fare meter without any argument, and drove without speaking on his phone.

"Am I really in Bengaluru, in 2025!?" the commuter wrote, summing up the rarity of the incident in a city where auto rides often come with fare disputes and refusals.
