Bengaluru, often hailed as the most creative city in India, continues to prove its reputation with a new viral sensation—a local auto-rickshaw driver who swapped his standard seat for a plush, fancy chair. This innovative modification has captured the imagination of social media users, sparking a wave of amusement and admiration.
A photo of the modified auto, posted on Reddit by the handle KittKittGuddeHaakonu, quickly gained traction online. The caption, “Pakka Local Auto Gamer,” perfectly encapsulated the playful spirit of the upgrade. The image shows the driver sitting comfortably in a stylish, cushioned chair that seems more suited for a living room than an auto-rickshaw, challenging traditional ideas of auto ride comfort.
As expected, the internet had a lot to say about this unconventional transformation. “This is peak Bengaluru behaviour. Innovation in every corner!” one user remarked. Another added, “Auto rides just got an upgrade—next up, gaming chairs?” Some even joked that the luxury seat looked more comfortable than their office chairs, with one commenting, “Honestly, this looks way more comfortable than my office chair.”
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Bengaluru’s auto drivers have turned heads with their creative seating choices. Previously, another driver went viral for replacing his seat with an ergonomic office chair, proving that comfort and innovation are key in the city’s auto-rickshaw culture.
Perhaps this trend will inspire more drivers to rethink their seats—could a plush office chair be the new standard for auto-rickshaw comfort?
