A Gurgaon woman said an auto driver asked for ₹800 for a roughly 7 km trip during rainy weather.

The commuter shared her account of the fare demand, describing it as excessive for the short journey. The allegation highlights the difficulty some residents can face finding reasonably priced last-mile transport when rain disrupts travel.

A Gurgaon woman has alleged that an auto driver demanded ₹800 for a journey of around 7 km during rain.

The claimed fare demand has drawn attention to the pressure on commuters looking for short-distance transport in wet weather, when road conditions and demand for rides can make travel more difficult. For residents dependent on autos for last-mile connectivity, unusually high quoted fares can leave them with limited options during a downpour.

The account concerns an alleged demand by one driver, and it is not clear whether the ride was taken or whether a complaint was filed. Commuters facing a fare dispute may consider noting the vehicle details and using the relevant transport or police complaint channels where applicable.
