[Resolved]  RTO Mumbai — auto fare

Hi,

At evening time, near Mulund station market area, very few autos are available.Also they are refusing to take short distance fares.This is happenning since last six month.This case is also happening near Nirmal Lifestyle and funniest thing is that there is RTO chowki just 50 meters away.

Now its very much open that 90% of autos have faulty meter and they are charging whatever they want.They are making huge profit on CNG and fast meter.No strong action is being taken by RTO officials or any political party who act like they are the only people who care for society.

Autorickshaw fare increase is very high. Before I use to pay Rs 150-170 from Mulund to domestic airport at early morning 9with night charge). Now they ask for Rs. 300-350/-

Please clarify for @ 25 km . what could be the correct fare?

Can RTO rationalised the meter for Km Reading and fare setting.

Regards

Dear RTO officer,

I stay at Dahisar and very often travel by Auto to Chembur. Most of the times I find that MH-02 auto meters are pretty okay, BUT MH-03 auto meters ( almost 9 outof 10 autos) are upto 30 paise fast .. Normal meter from Dahisar W to Chembur is 19.50 to 19.80, but MH-03 Autos, i find goes upto even 22.50. When i act tough with the auto drivers, Normal answer is ; Please pay what you feel is correct . and they take the money i give them.

I wonder what happens to all the customers who have been travelling long distances at times and not frequently as i do..

I have auto drivers who even say that we have to pay the RTO office people regularly so we tamper the meters. This is widely rampant in all MH-03 Autos.. I can even challenge the RTO office connected with the MH-03 auto registration, that they are fully aware of this and keep a blind eye to all that;s happening.

With the recent auto fare increase, which appears to be very irrational, the increase initially from old fare to new fare is about 22% and as the meter reading is around 9rs, %increase is 29%, Can anyone from RTO explain this anomally.. Long distance travelling in auto is a pain nowadays.

Can someone in the RTO really take the pains to read this complaint ? Can we expect some kind of action or does consumer complaints go on deaf ears ? Can i get some answer from someone ?

Why RTO is not taking any action against the Auto Drivers in Kalyan. They dont run Meters and charge customers exorbitantly high. Infact the fare they charge is 3 times higher. Dont sleep RTO.Wake up and look for the unfair practices that takes place.

I am a regular traveller from Amdheri Station(W) to Janki Center, Off Veera Desai Road. Today I hired an auto MH 02 SA 0437 in morning 10:15. I found the meter very fast. The meter reading at Janki Center was 2.7 without any traffic we faced. It used to be 1.8 to 2.1 daily. Please do the needful

Hi,
I am regular traveler from goregoan best colony to chincholi, as per regular fare it would be 24 to 26rs, this auto meter (MH-03 V 3252) mention was running fast, secondly he was insisting me to go via link road which poses many signal so that his waiting will be more chargable,

Also driver denied to give details of owner of the permit as he doesn, t no any thing about it, i suspect even he had a proper driving license, since i was unable to argue with him because i was with small son.

Pls check into it and do the needful

Why cant the auto rickshaws have a diigital meter ...all their meters are tampered with. every single rick . Its only one in a million whose gives the right fare. Please do something abt this its making peoples life miserable.

Dear,
RTO Officer,

today i travelled from sion rickshaw stand to mulund(sarvoday nagar), & there was no heavy traffic, it was about 4.30 pm, the road was clear in the eastern express highway, the fare was supposed to be around Rs.140/- & he charged me about Rs.200/-.

I asked him why the charge is so high, he replied - because of trafic jam, but asked his auto no, he lied me the no. the funniest thing is that, he not at all bothered & afraid of any authority, when he left the rickshaw i saw the no plate: MH03M 6669.

I hope u take the necessary action against this cheating.

yours

Hi this is pinky

It is most difficult to get auto from goregaon station to virwani industrial estate near western express highway almost it weast half an hour in morning around 9:45am & vise-varsa in the evening by 6:00pm

I am a regular traveller by auto from Bhandup to Hiranandani (near D Mart).
Around 90% of autos have faulty meter. Friday (14 Jan 2010), I took auto from Hiranandani to Bhandup (Dreams). The normal charges is around Rs 45/-. In between the route, On reaching destination, the auto rick meter shows 6.00 means Rs 76/- it's almost double. when I told him it's fast he made so much noise in front of my building.I have a small child so i don't have much time to fight so i paid him 76 Rs

I request you to please take strict action . His no is MH03AA2373 when I told him I will complain he said you have to come with me to RTO Office . please take strict action

I am a regular autorickshaw customer travelling from Goregaon(w) through link road to Andheri (e) station.On 31-01-11 at 11-30pm i travelled the same route in auto no MH-02-UA-7379 whose meter was running fast and the fare was Rs72/- which maximum should have been Rs60/.Please look into the same and do the needful.

I almost regularly (at least twice a weak) travel to & fro between Thakur Village to Domestic Airport by Auto Rickshaw and barring one or two I found almost all meteres are faulty. The distance is 14 Km. and the meter reading ranges from Rs.8.40 to Rs..11.50 i.e. almost 40% variation!!!
I would like to know what our RTO people are doing when almost 95% Auto Rickshaw's are running with fudged meter. Are they there only to collect money from truckers and only to catch drunken drivers?
Disgusting!!!

Dear RTO Officer,
I am staying in chandival on saturday night at 9:50 pm I took auto from oberoi mall to chandivali,
as per regular fare it would be 80 to 90rs he charged me Rs.111/-. even though there was no traffic on road.
I offered him 80 RS so he made arguments and try to embarrass us.

I request you to please take the appropriate action . His auto no is MH-03-AK-6995.

Thanks & regards,

Dear RTO Officer,

I travel evey day same time from Mith Chowky (Sunder Lane) to Seepz(Andheri East) using route cut through Dalmia college, SV Road, Cemenary, highway, jogeshwari vikroli highway & seepz (gate no 1) dont chage my route . Today was different the Auto MH.02.VA-5689 meter read 98.0 near the bridge which bu any other auto come to 74-80 on meter . I saw the police & stopped the auto & informed the police about, how fast his meter was, they politely asked me to only pay him 94 Rs ( my everyday fare ) & write to you, so that you could take strict action .I have also taken pictures of the meter . I pay between 94-102 Rs, but 98 on meter would be 125 Rs . had I not stopped him before my destination it would surely been over 110 on meter . thats a big difference .

2nd instance .. I have seen more than 10 auto's refusing to a Sr.Citizen near Goregaon West station road . the poor lady who could barely walk in the afternnon barely walked a few steps stopped for a while took a few steps again & stopped for a while ...I honestly feel strict action should be taken against such errand Auto rider's

Thanking You,

Sincerely,

Candida
