#5: Chevy, Dodge and Chrysler badges on Bajaj autos (Pune) I'm not kidding
#4: Stickers on autos that say "OK" (Bangalore). OK followed by the owner's name, current year, "good", "Super" whatever.Holographic stickers, at that
#3: Super weird grilles on Premier Padmini taxis (Bombay) I don't think I saw a single taxi with the standard fake-chrome grille the last time I was there.
#2: LEDs and Neon interior lights in taxis (again, Bombay) As a British car magazine spoke of a certain car model. "The lights give it all the subtlety of a Soho sex shop" ;-)
And the most useless accessory seen on public transport in India is...
Fare meters in autos (Madras)
They're never bloody used!

The SOHO sex shop analogy says it all
:P
Went to t.nagar by auto recently.. After a lot of bargaining, agreed to pay 70 bucks. The guy turned on the meter (cause apparently the cops were 'catching' - you should've heard him grumble about how unfair it is that they're made to turn on the meter!). End of the journey, the meter read 45! Ce, ma frere, est la vie!
they arent used in autos in Delhi either!!

Very true about the meter! They should just throw it away now!
