Autorickshaw — Refusing to play short distance

Hi,
This is with regards to autorickshaw number MH 12 CH 9168 refusing to ply from SGS Magnum Mall Camp to Shantai Hotel.

This happened about a week back. This is a common occurrence in pune. Either they refuse or they ask for ridiculous fares without turning the meter on.

There has to be someone who looks into these issues.

Warm Regards,
Shweta

Autorickshaw — Not ready to travel short distance

Public transportation in pune is first of all pathetic and to add to this is the behavior of autorickshaw drivers.Yesterday i wanted my mother to be taken to a nearby clinic as she fainted at home.I have no conveyance of my own and hence had to pursue an autorickshaw for that.I asked an auto driver (Vehicle number : MH 12 CT 2851) but he denied saying he had to go home when the time was just 8.30 pm.I knew that because it is short distance he wasn't readyfor it.I begged him saying that i have a patient to be taken to the hospital, still he didn't show any mercy.I managed another auto and was able to take my mother to the hospital.On return back i saw the same auto driver standing at the rickshaw stop who had dropped us at the hospital and this time he denied taking us back home (Vehicle Number : MH 12 RA 1629). There was another auto driver standing there who also denied. Is there any other agency to whom i can directly approach to lodge a complaint? Because anyone can have such a situation coming their way.
Respected sir, I would like to bring in your kind notice about an auto AP-29T/3698 hired opp. KPHB kaman kukatpally to Nalakunta Shanker Math main road the fare was in the meter Rs.182.40, last time I had given Rs.145/- only. I told him but he was not ready to listen me. I give him Rs.200/- and reguest for balance but he had no chiller he can't return balance and left back.I and my wife and daughter with me both time.Is it correct or not, if not correct please write complaint against him. I personally request your honour.

Auto Rickshaw — Auto Rickshaw MH 02 X 8916 complaint for meter tampering

Dear Sir/Madam,

I took the rickshaw MH 02 X 8916 from bandra east highway to go towards powai via JVLR (jogeshwari vikhroli link road). the driver was not the owner but was hired to drive the rickshaw.

its my everyday route so the meter reading upto JVLR is 65 (Rs. 85), but this meter showed 85 (Rs. 105), when i told the driver & refused to pay so much. the driver forced me to pay fare for reading 85. he demanded the fare, when i gave him 100 rs. note, he didnt give me back change, instaed got out of the rickshaw and told me to take another auto. till i dnt get out of the auto he wont drive, that was very mannerless way to behave with a girl.i said in 100 i would have reached my destination with normal working meter. and threatened him of police, but he raised his voice and asked me to get down.

please take action against the driver & owner.
the only way to recognize the driver hired for this rickshaw is his eyes had problem, were squint and fair looking thin man.
and please take some action against meter tampering

thanks & regards
meter reading too fast, tampering the auto rickshaw meters.

I took a rickshaw from bandra east highway to go to powai. its my everyday route, i pass the JVLR (jogeshwari vikhroli link road) and go towards powai.
normally the reading upto JVLR is 65, but this rickshaw showd 85, i refused to pay so much as i was sure there was some problem with the meter. on refusing the auto driver forced me to pay fare for 85 reading and asked me to get down from the rickshaw and take another one. his behaviour was mannerless towards a gal.

there are many such auto rickshaws who tamper their meters to give high readings in short distance. i have noted down the number.
the driver ws not the owner of the auto.

some action should be taken against such drivers.

did they take any action against the driver ?
I want to lodge a complaint against an auto rickshaw for its faulty meter, this incident took place on 3/02/2018 in the evening around 8.40 pm while going to kanjurmarg station (east) from Goregoan-mulund link road near THE FOOD STUDIO, we got the auto by crossing the road as we told him to take us to the destintation through highway, he took a U turn accordingly and within no time the fare from RS 18 it turned out to be 33 rs (not more then 5 mins )
On enquiring about this, the reply we got was : Autodriver : Madam highway se jaega toh meter zada aata hai (said confusingly... )
Me and my fiance : Started arguing, still the driver denied
half the way the meter turned out to rs 103 and suddenly after 2 mins in between the meter was showing the fare as rs 18
At the end of this route he still not accepted the case about faulty meter, Due to this reason consumer prefer ola and uber for their convinent instead of this fraud autorickshaws and their faulty meter.

Its a humble request from my side that please take action against these autodrivers, as they earn money in a fraudalent way and looting customers charging twice the normal fare .
Today this incident happened with me, tommorrow with someone else and this goes on and on, in this way anyone may get into trouble .

DETAILS OF THE AUTO RICKSHAW
VEHICLE REGNS NO : MH.47.C.2670

Hi I was travelling from Citi mall andheri west to Azad nagar Metro Station. His meter was faulty. He charged 57 Rs from me. Which normally is under 30 rs. He was constantly accelerating his auto in traffic while his auto was not moving. Accelerating caused the distance meter to increased which caused fare to be increased. He was drunked without uniform and driving ruthless... I told him to be complained to RTO. He said I do not fear. His auto no. Is MH 02 EF 6490 around 5.20pm on 29/05/2018.He was ready to be clicked for complaint.Kindly take strict action against this ruthless and who does not fear law... I am sending his photo and auto pic
MH02 EF 6490 faulty meter. And the driver was drunked and ruthless without uniform. With super fast meter

Hi. I took an auto on 03/09/2018 at 5:30pm from citi mall andheri to seven bungalows, usually the auto fare is 35 - 40 rupees depending on the traffic but my auto meter was extremely fast and it came to 49 rupees which is impossible since i am a regular traveller. The auto number is MH 03 BN 7423

Respected sir/madam,
I took a rickshaw near BMW Bike showroom at Andheri West to Rajkumar Road Rajhans School where i tell him to wait for 2-3mins and everyday i ask the rickshaw person to take me back in the same Rick to Sahakar Nagar. This is my everyday travel to pick up my son.
My rickshaw meter always shows 38-40rs depending on traffic. And the distance is 2.5kms to and fro.
Today my rickshaw meter showed 3.5kms. And rs51. For which i was not ready to pay. Since i had no change i had to paid him rs50 n asked him to return my 10rs which he refused and said that meter runs automatically how can i do anything.
I told him that he has tampered with the meter n to return my change which he dint.
He even told me to take photo and complain at the RTO. Look at his confidence. This is how they are and they try to show that they are more powerful than the commoners.
I would request the RTO to kindly take strict action in tampering of the Meters.
These people are greedy for money and expect us to believe that they don’t touch their meters and tamper them.

Faulty meter and overcharged for same route and distance.

I daily travel from Andheri to Mulund same route and it costs Me around 250 to 270 Rupees without any traffic. Today it charged Me 330 Rupees without any traffic. Below are the details of the auto rickshaw.
