Autorickshaws in Chennai don’t bother with using the meter. You settle on a price before getting in, and the prices are never the same. This fellow doesn’t even have a meter.

    That was the biggest problem I faced in Chennai. I was alone with no friends and had no idea what price to even haggle on!
