Auto-taxi fare may increase
In metros like Delhi-Mumbai, services like autos and cabs can be expensive for the common man. A cab driver said that in summer, the AC has to be run more for the passengers, which increases the cost of gas. Now due to the continuous increase in the price, we will have to increase the fare also. Auto drivers have also talked about charging more fare per kilometer.
