Abstract
A major component of urban transportation in India is the autorickshaw. Legislators, the media, and the general public routinely attack autorickshaws and their drivers despite this service. Policies to address the perceived inadequacies of auto-rickshaws and their drivers are a topic of intense public debate in Indian cities. In order for the opinions of drivers, autorickshaw users, and the general traveling public to be more effectively taken into account when creating policy, we aim to add complexity and balance to this conversation. Towards this end, we critically address the critique and underlying ideas, highlight the unique role autorickshaws play in urban mobility, and provide an overview of the realities and economics of owning and managing an autorickshaw.
