To ensure commuters’ safety in Dombivli, a group of 25 residents have started a campaign in which they are asking locals to say ‘no’ to fourth seat while travelling in share autos. “It is important not to allow the auto drivers from taking in a fourth passenger. “If we do not allow auto drivers from filling in the fourth seat, the practice will eventually come to an end,” said Kane. Group members said they have observed that many a time auto drivers pick up their friends and relatives on the way, despite ferrying passengers. Fed up of the errant auto drivers, residents have also asked the KDMT to introduce more buses to ease crowd in autorickhaws.
