[Resolved] Auto Rickshaw Drivers — Rude and unfair attitude of auto driver | |||
Hyderabad traffic police must take strict action against rude attitude of auto rickshaw drivers in Hyderabad. These Autorickshaws are squeezing the innocent people who are desperately in need of transport. I wish to share my experience with the TRAFFIC POLICE AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC like me who are being cheated by the auto drivers daily. It so happened that today I wanted to go to exhibition grounds from women's college Koti . The auto driver demanded 80 rs . The distance to exhibition grounds from koti is not very far as you all might be knowing. I told him to use the meter but he refused. When I said I will matter to the top authorities and I started noting his auto number, he became nervous and reduced the fare to nearly half the price and was ready to take me to my destination point at 50rs. His auto NUMBER is AP9Y8880. On another occasion one auto driver put the meter on seeing the traffic police nearby area. Otherwise he would have most probably taken me on his own fixed fare. If this attitude of autos continues to be a regular habit, the hard earned money of innocent people will be looted by easy means and they end up with losing everything and eventually become poor and auto driver will become rich by unfair means. Lastly I would request the concerned authorities to take strict action against these auto drivers. Was this information helpful? | |||

fizaafra, I also got fed up with uncivilized auto rickshaw drivers in Hyderabad. I don't understand, if taxi/cab can run through meter, why auto rickshaw drivers act so smart? Generally when they are in gang outside any hospital, theatre etc, if you start bargain with one driver, 4-5 drivers will join them and start talking nonsense. Its impossible to convince them, since they are low grade uneducated barbaric human beings. Whatever logic I put in the argument, it failed to reach their brain, so there a big communication gap between them and me. I always avoid auto rickshaw in Hyderabad, as I always go alone.Once I was returning from Apollo Hospital, and tried to ask a auto rickshaw driver, then claimed Rs 80, for only 3 kms. I told them about the distance, then they replied that they cannot survive with kms, and 80 is very less, others will charge Rs 180. This is outrageous. I went to hospital from my room via Ola Cabs, and it took only Rs 50. Why this auto rickshaw department act so smart?In my opinion, the solution I propose is that every auto rickshaw should have a registered authentic meter and any driver not using meter should be fined and prosecuted legally. If possible, their license should be seized. Police should do periodic checking of all auto rickshaw driver for their license and meter.
