What’s the fastest way to reach your destination in India? Hitch an auto rickshaw of course! Skillfully slithering through traffic, and artistically moving across pothole-riddled roads at top speed — an auto rickshaw is your answer to reaching anywhere on time, especially during peak hours. And it’s not just us. Even, Mercedes India CEO Martin Schwenk thinks so.
Mercedes India CEO Martin Schwenk Takes Auto To Reach On Time
The CEO of Mercedes-Benz India, Martin Schwenk took to Instagram to share his peak India moment. Schwenk was travelling in Pune, in his Mercedes-S class of course! But traffic played spoilsport to his plans. And his luxurious car got stuck in traffic. That’s when the Mercedes India CEO decided that ‘when in India, be like the Indians’. So, he left his Mercedes-S class. And hitched an auto instead.
Trust auto rickshaws to always save the day! He shared a picture of his auto rickshaw experience. His caption read “If your S-class is stuck in traffic on the wonderful Pune roads – what do you do? Maybe getting off the car, start walking for a few KM’s and then grabbing a rickshaw?”
