A post on X by Shagun Ohri (@ShagunOhri) is going viral. She recently took an auto ride in Bengaluru and was surprised when she sat inside. Just at the back of the driver’s seat, there was a leaflet with a list of services this auto ride offers. It included that a passenger can buy a cold water bottle of 500 ml for ₹12, use USB mobile charging (all types available) at a charge, and even use a fan for 30 minutes for ₹10.
At the top of the leaflet, “Welcome to Premium Auto” was written. Shagun got herself a water bottle from the auto driver and wrote a caption that read, “Good man, knows his ICP.” From this, we can agree that this Bengaluru auto driver is undoubtedly creative to earn some extra cash.

Netizens Love This Creative Idea
All things aside, keeping water bottles for passengers in an auto is definitely a great idea. People who commute frequently in autos know this struggle. Many times, we forget to carry a water bottle and have to look for a shop during the ride. Moreover, offering USB charging to commuters is another thoughtful idea.
Just like us, netizens also loved the idea. One user wrote, “This is kind of innovation I want to see in autos trying to make some extra income,” and honestly, we agree. Another user commented, “Good idea, especially in summer.” A third user wrote, “Very good idea & initiative. Well done, Mr Automan. Once people can pay for AC charges in a car/taxi, why not in an auto?” Another comment read, “Wow, that’s cool.” Most comments appreciated the auto driver, but one user wrote, “Where is the fridge to keep water cool?” which made us chuckle a bit.
