Three registration for a single auto
The auto-rickshaw drivers of Bengaluru never fail to make headlines with their clever yet controversial ideas to surprise passengers. An auto rickshaw in Bengaluru sparked a discussion on Twitter after it had three registration numbers on a single vehicle.
In the viral image, the auto has three different registration numbers, one for Ola customers, one for Rapido customers, and the other actual yellow board registration number. A Twitter user named Suprit took to social media and wrote, “Another #PeakBangalore moment in E-city. How many registrations are too many registrations?” Meanwhile, many users questioned the legality of the move and some even called it moonlighting.

One user’s post has even sparked a discussion on Twitter about the legality of the same. “I always wondered on such different vehicle arriving with different registration number when booked through ola. I dread for my safety when this happens! How will @ola_supports or #banglore traffic police track such vehicles in case of crimes,” a woman wrote.

To this, Ola support responded and wrote, “This is concerning to us, Deepa. We will definitely look into this for you. Please share the CRN of such instances and your email ID via DM to investigate this further.”

Is this legal?
I expect ola / rapido / uber would use the actual (RTO provided) registration number of the vehicle.— Krishna (@KrisPrajapati) April 5, 2023
Looks like he rented the auto and he has registered OLA/Rapido using previous rentals
