"This is for sure driven by the famous Mumbai auto walas. The most honest, and helping in the country. In no other place I have seen Auto walas return 2 rupee for 18, when you give them 20", said a Twitter user responding to Mahindra's post.
Another Twitter user said, "Yes, People of Mumbai are most Honest and helpful. I remember in 2010 I was coming to Mumbai by Rajdhani express. Auto driver charge me 200 rs for bus stop to station and for same distance I have paid 32 rs in mumbai and auto driver took only Rs 32 even I forced to keep change".
In another tweet, Mahindra shared a video of Thar crossing a riverbed amid strong currents. He wrote, "After I RT'd the tweet about a Bolero in Gujarat wading through floodwaters, several of you shared this video that's circulating on Youtube. I think we may well have to create a new vertical called âMahindra Amphibious Vehicles' (MAV's!) (sic)."
