Bengaluru's Nagara Auto App Aims for Transparent Rides
Nagara Auto is a new app in Bengaluru that lets you book auto-rickshaws.
Unlike other apps, Nagara promises to charge only the fare shown on the meter, with no extra fees or commissions.
You can book a ride through WhatsApp, a website, or the app itself.
The app is trying to solve the problem of expensive auto rides and make it easier for people to get around, especially near metro stations.
It's a project by young entrepreneurs, and it's already getting support as an alternative to other ride-hailing services.
Nagara Auto app relaunched in June aims to revive metered auto rides in Bengaluru.
The app promises fare transparency: passengers pay only the meter fare.
The service can be booked via WhatsApp, website, or the Nagara app.
Over 1,500 auto drivers have joined the platform since its launch.
The app aims to solve first and last-mile connectivity issues in Bengaluru.
