CHENNAI: Following a complaint from Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC), the state transport department has booked 436 share autos in and around the city for permit violationsm and operating on bus routes.
Share autos, though largely unregularized, have become one of the most preferred forms of public transport in the city. More people have begun preferring them over buses because they can get down or board at any desired location instead of waiting at poorly-maintained bus stands.
