Overview
- The Instagram reel by Sanya Singh (@sanya.unfiltered) says her friend paid ₹1,200 for a 15 km auto-rickshaw ride that took three hours in traffic.
- The clip spread across Instagram and X with view counts reported above 200,000, and commenters reacted with shock and sympathy.
- Hindustan Times, Live Mint, Times Now, and India Today reported on the video as a viral claim and said they could not independently confirm the details.
- Many responses tied the steep fare to rain-driven demand and weak last-mile transit, saying riders often pay more when options are limited.
- No confirmation has come from the passenger, the driver, or transport officials, though one report cited PTI images of autos queued on Kanteerava Studio Main Road.
