The post quickly gained traction, amassing over 87,600 views in just two days.

Responses varied widely, with one user humorously noting, “It’s not even radical,” while another mentioned having “seen worse,” referencing another auto with a contentious display. Comments continued to roll in, with one user stating, “Rick Wale Bhaiya is more civilized than most of those tech bros in Bangalore,” and another quipping, “How hard is it to just say that all girls deserve respect?”

Adding to the conversation, a user remarked on the ongoing language debate in the city, saying, “But not speaking Kannada is where they draw the line.”

This isn’t the first time Bengaluru’s auto drivers have made headlines. Recently, another driver gained attention for replacing his seat with an office chair to enhance comfort, which was dubbed a “Peak Bengaluru” moment by users. “Auto driver’s seat had an office chair fixed for extra comfort, man I love Bangalore,” wrote Shivani Matlapudi, a product designer at CRED.

In another interesting development, Flipkart launched a campaign in Bengaluru offering auto-rickshaw rides for just Re 1 during peak traffic hours. This initiative, equipped with Flipkart’s UPI payment systems, also gained significant attention as it was activated at select locations during busy office hours.

As discussions around the empowering message continue, it’s clear that Bengaluru’s auto-rickshaws remain a vibrant part of the city’s social fabric.
