The second said, "Where's the option for "No sir, I won't pay you 600 for 2 kilometres"

Another said, "This seems like a faster, cheaper way to learn Kannada."
The next said, "Good way to politely ask people to learn a new language. Many will welcome this and will have a curious approach towards it. Don't force Promote and make curious."
The sixth user said, "So many English words which means Kannada was derived from English and not Sanskrit."
"I liked how Kannada was communicated in English. Passengers will notice the ad and can also watch it on video. It's a good approach by the government, " another also said.
The next netizen also said, "Great job to whoever thought of this! I've always loved languages, and now I can proudly say I've learned some Kannada. I've never been to Karnataka, but I hope to learn more before my first visit."
