Annadurai the amazing Auto driver in Chennai


Teachers are the only category of people who are offered free rides in his auto on all days of the year. “They are special people. You take any other profession, including doctors. Who made them what they are? The credit goes to teachers who taught them the subject. So, that’s why the special honour for teachers,” he clarifies.
On women’s day, women above 50 years can ride free in his auto. On mother’s day, he lets any mother who is travelling with her son or daughter, ride free. The offer is valid for both mother and child - 

Annadurai owns a ‘share auto’ that can carry six people. Step into his auto, and you would find over a dozen magazines and newspapers, neatly stacked on the sides and top, a wi-fi enabled environment, a mini TV set playing recently recorded news bulletins, a brand new tablet to browse and send mails, and a recharge facility for prepaid mobiles. -



“I don’t keep old magazines. The issues I keep in my auto are all recent ones,” says Annadurai, who spends around Rs.4000 on buying magazines and newspapers alone each month.

He records news bulletins from leading TV channels during his lunch break and plays them for his customers.



On special days and occasions, Anna offers discounts to his customers -
