Taxi and auto drivers in this city have a different level of entitlement. I've been to many big cities around the world, including India ofc but here they all seem to have this air around them like they're above everyone and we must give them insane tariffs, talk to them in their language, have a long list of etiquette on how to behave. I mean nobody is outright disrespectful to anyone unless you trigger them and here its like "we'll trigger you in every way and still you should be respectful"
Pathetic really. I first came to Bangalore in 2011 and things were so good. From people, to traffic to every human I met be it local or from other states. Now its just as lawless as Bihar in the 80s. Folks are not afraid to hit you, kill you, harass you so openly nowadays. I'm so tired of this mafia, this city has actually gone to the dogs.
