Tamil Nadu   

Closer to home now

One does not have to go too far to hire an autorickshaw these days.

No longer are busy road junctions the exclusive haunts of autorickshaw stands in Tiruchi.

Thanks to the problem of plenty, the stands have come closer to residential areas.

Any road intersection points with a little parking space will suffice for autorickshaw drivers to identify venues to set up stands.

They manage to find customers both during the peak hours when the city buses are packed, and at others when the frequency of bus trips is low.

Coming closer to residential areas also helps them go on regular to and fro school trips for schoolchildren.

A major advantage of their ubiquitous presence is the deftness with which the public can locate addresses.
