How is Tata Magic CNG 8 Seater better than auto-rickshaws for last mile connectivity?

Auto-rickshaws have been the last mile connectivity option in many Indian cities for ages now. This has led to debate also on the utility of vehicles such as the Tata Magic CNG 8 Seater for this task. Advocates say it's more comfortable, safer, and more spacious than auto rickshaws, especially during monsoons or for group travel. The environmental angle has also to be pitched in; CNG would be perceived as a cleaner fuel option. But critics say auto rickshaws are better for maneuvering in the tight lanes of a city and are culturally important in many places. The economic impact on auto rickshaw drivers is often brought into the discussion, that if the magic might coexist with auto rickshaws somehow or can even replace them in the certain routes. Another point of comparison is cost effectiveness for both operators and passengers.
