The first autorickshaw to serve Bangalore commenced operations in December 1950. Despite stiff opposition from the jatka (horse-drawn cart) lobby, N Keshava Iyengar, the Mayor of Bangalore (which for the first time included both civil and cantonment areas) approved licenses for a total of ten autorickshaws.At that time, jatkas were the norm, and citizens welcomed the new autorickshaws with enthusiasm. Designed in Poona, the autorickshaws were painted green and yellow and resembled a scooter pulling a passenger cabin attached to its rear. Iyengar inaugurated the first auto at the corporation building and he also volunteered to drive the vehicle on its maiden journey with the owners, a Bangalore man and his Italian wife. Iyengar's autobiography records him driving them to his house in Balepet and treating them to refreshments. Within a few years, there were nearly 40 autos plying the city's streets. Autos were not allowed to carry more than two passengers on a ride, a limit that would stay in force for thirty years, till 1980, when it was raised to three passengers.
The first autorickshaw in Bangalore was launched in 1950, and the first person to take passengers on an auto ride was the city's mayor.
