Who says traffic jams do not contribute to the economy?

I thought I was powerful. But I realized I am not when I was charged Rs. 180 by an auto driver from Whitefield to Marathahalli which should not have costed me more than Rs. 50. And what was the reason given? There is a jam on the way… I managed to smile when 3 times the auto fare was drained from my pocket. Let us somehow help others!!!
