Getting around Hutagalli the local way

- Get aroundAuto-rickshaws have meters, but drivers politely refuse to turn down the meters, especially at railway stations, bus stations, etc.
- Get aroundTry to insist on using the meter; threatening to call the police sometimes works when the rickshaw driver pretends that the meter is broken and wants a flat fee.
