Ranjani Madhavan ByExpress News ServiceBENGALURU: Loca Rides, a four-month-old car pool start-up that aims to provide last-mile connectivity near Metro and railway stations is facing opposition from local auto drivers in Indiranagar. The company alleges that two of their cars were damaged by auto drivers. In fact, in one of the incidents, the driver had passengers in the cab when a group of auto drivers kicked the vehicles and scratched the windshield with keys. Since our services are cheaper, the auto drivers are probably facing a drop in their business near the Metro station. The next day, auto drivers threatened our drivers once again when passengers were present,” Patil said..
