I also don't charge senior citizens for rides up to 1 km. The reason I did this is because I wanted to provide better services to passengers," Gite told ANI. The rickshaw has fans, passengers can enjoy music on a Bluetooth speaker, or watch something on a television screen using their mobiles. Many were impressed by the facilities being offered, and some said the vehicle qualified to be classified as a "101% 1RK auto" given the cost of buying a home in Mumbai.
