An autorickshaw driver’s strict set of rules for passengers went viral after being shared on X by a user, sparking amusing reactions across social media. The photo, posted by 23-year-old user Anya, showed a printed board outlining the rules inside the auto.
The picture, taken by the passenger from the backseat, captured the driver’s warning message displayed on the back of the seat.
In the message, the driver firmly addressed passengers, cautioning them against any “romance” in the auto and urging respect for the space. “Warning!! No romance. This is a cab not your private place or OYO so please keep distance and stay calm. Give respect, take respect. Thank you,” the warning read.
The post, which garnered thousands of views, reminded many of a similar set of rules issued by a cab driver last year that sparked a debate on Reddit. That driver also encouraged respect and politeness, stating, “Put your attitude in your pocket. Please don’t show to us because you are not giving more money to us.” The mix of humor and clear boundaries led to widespread support for the driver, with many admiring his straightforwardness.
Netizens react to auto driver’s warning
The post quickly gained traction among social media users, who praised the driver’s straightforward and no-nonsense approach to his passengers. Many found the warning amusing, with one user commenting, “It’s so funny how often this must have happened for the sign to be required.”
The user who shared the post also added a lighthearted remark, saying she told the driver he needn’t worry about her breaking the rules.
Others humorously referenced the OYO warning, drawing parallels with recent guidelines issued by OYO in Meerut, where unmarried couples are no longer allowed to check-in.
“Apparently even OYO has a problem with romance,” quipped another user.
