Shared auto rides. Fixed fares. No haggling.

RIDE SMART, RIDE LOCAL

Local Auto books you a seat on a shared auto-rickshaw running a fixed route between real stops — like a bus, but an auto, at a fraction of a private ride's cost. Pay once from your wallet, scan a QR to board, and you're on your way.

Why riders choose Local Auto

Built around trust and transparency

No surge pricing, no bargaining, no uncertainty — just a fixed fare, shown up front, and a ride you only pay for once you actually board.

Fixed, published fares

Every route has a set price per passenger — see it before you book, and it never changes based on demand or traffic.

Cashless wallet

Top up once with card or UPI, then every ride is paid automatically — no change to carry, no cash disputes.

Verified QR boarding

Scan your Auto Captain's verified QR code to board — you're never charged unless a real, verified ride happens.

Multi-passenger booking

Travelling with others? Book everyone in one go — each passenger gets their own ticket to board with.

Speaks your language

The full app works in English, Telugu, and Hindi — switch any time from your profile.

Safety, one tap away

Emergency dialing for ambulance, police, or fire is always available directly from your profile.

Our story

Why we built Local Auto

Shared autos have always been part of how Vijayawada gets around. We just made the frustrating parts disappear.

Before Local Auto, booking a shared auto meant guessing the fare, hoping there was room, and hoping the driver was actually headed where you needed to go. None of that was written down anywhere — it was all worked out on the spot, every single time.

We didn't invent the shared auto. We built the layer around it that was always missing: a fare you can see before you book, a wallet so there's no cash or change to argue about, and a QR scan so boarding is never in question.

We're starting with Vijayawada, one route at a time, working directly with the Auto Captains who drive it and the riders who use it every day — building this together as we go.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Everything riders usually want to know before their first trip.

Every route has a published fare per passenger between its stops. You see the exact amount before you book — it never changes with demand, traffic, or time of day.

Top up your in-app wallet with a card or UPI, then every ride is deducted automatically from that balance — no cash, no change, no separate checkout per ride.

You can cancel a pending ticket before boarding and you're never charged for it — nothing is deducted from your wallet until you actually scan to board.

Every Auto Captain has a verified QR code. Boarding only registers — and your fare is only charged — once that exact code is scanned, so there's no ambiguity about which ride you took.

Your location is only used to suggest nearby stops and to show live auto positions on the map. Auto Captains' locations are visible only while they're actively on duty.

Registration happens in person at our office, where your documents (ID, license, vehicle details) are verified directly by our team — there's no self-serve signup for drivers.

We're currently operating in Vijayawada, running fixed routes between real, mapped stops across the city.
