absolutely agree, even in mangalore these auto rickshaws wala misbehave even with students. AND one thing i wanna add is that, they are signed for the purpose of serving every one whenevr anyone is in need to go anywhere, bt i have experienced that they have their mind set ;its their wish whether they want to go or not at that particular place, , even if its urgent.

Auto Rickshaw — high fares charged

it was a weekend trip to mysore with 5 friends on 31-may-2008.
reached city dasprakash hotel from railway station nominally charged at Rs 20 by a taxi. with no availability of rooms decided to try luck in J.L.B road or ramaswamy circle. so six o[censored]s(friends) came to gandhi square and boarded two autos. both auto drivers discussed something and they told us that only one meter will be running cos the other meter is not working properly. we agreed upon this, since i am regular visitor to mysore. fare from gandhi square to ramaswamy circle shud not exceed more than Rs 20.but that day we were taken for a ride. the auto number plate read KA 19 8111.
i was shocked to see the meter changing fares, for a moment i felt i was looking at a counting machine or something similar because it was rolling out fares almost every second.
finally when we reached ramaswamy circle the meter reading was Rs 40. when told him that the fare shud not be more than 20, he started arguing crap. when the other auto arrived, the
driver of the other auto was literally mouthshut and we were made to pay Rs 40 so with the other other auto not running with the meter also charged us 40. finally we had paid 80Rs which was supposed to be not more than 35-40Rs.
so the complaints are auto meters are so badly tampered that they are running double fare and the other complaint i would like to put across is most of the autos wont roll the meter and just gives us a round figure of fare which will be more than a taxi fare.
i dont know who is the concerned person or department who looks into these cases but if these are resolved at the earliest, it would be good for regular commuters as well as frequent visitors like us.

Auto rickshaw fares vary from Mumbai- Navi Mumbai???
Why do auto drivers do not use meters here in airoli, navi Mumbai but use in vashi navi Mumbai??
Why does the auto drivers in airoli do not have or wear uniform, drivers license?

I am a student and I also face the same problem, especially whenever I'm coming back to Pune from my hometown.The buses, most of them coming from Goa to Pune do not enter Pune.they drop the passengers at Swargate or at the by pass, these buses reach Pune at 6, 6.30 .The auto rickshaws at these two points never go according to the meter.They charge double (even though its past time), argue, refuse to take you if you do not pay them double, or triple.They go to such an extent that they carry a fake meter card.Unfortunately at that point i have never seen a police officer.

I completely agree with the complaint. Auto Rickshaw Driver charge from 15 to 20 per km and they don't have electronic meters installed and charge what they feel like.
I my self have paid Rs 50 for a 2.5km journey from Bhajghera crossing to Sector 23 gurgaon.

Please help people!!

Thanks,

Hi,

Why is the Gurgaon Adminstration so much insensitive? While Delhi has meter system of Auto. Why is Gurgaon adminstration not doing anything. I feel like cheated everyday i come by Auto for 6 Kms (from Sec 17 to Udyog Vihar IV) I pay 80-90 Rs everyday. In Delhi for the same distance I dont think it would be more than 50 Rs. When will these things end up.. Its due to poor public transports, there are increase in no. of private vechiles... increase in polution. Why is Govt. not taking serious actions against these things?

Please any one help me out whom I should contact for this.
Even for the previous complaints actions has not been taken since 2011..
Sad plight of a common man in a a so called Millenium City Gurgaon..

hi, ousl

Today i when i travel from kukatpally "y" junction to lumbini park and meter for auto was charged Rs.110/-. previously also it charged appro. Rs.100-110/- only. but today when i return from lumbini park to kukatpally (from where i start)the auto charge was Rs.165/-. Eventhough i argue with him for few minutes, finally i paid total. and the auto no is AP10w3192. and i easily guess by autowala behaviour that he is doing some manipulation with meter. so, i request you to kindly take an action against that autowala.

I am expecting early response from you as it should not repeat with others.

Thankyou,

I hired a rickshaw from Puna hospital with my grand father who was ill, i traveled to Bibwewadi. The meter shown 7.00 reading, which was already more than i usually get for the same route and distance. Then that rickshaw driver rudely and using bad language asked me for 105rs fare which was supposed to be 68rs only. This disappointed me, I asked him to show the meter fare on his sheet, but he didn't show. He said he is needs to be payed more as he will need to get back long way on the main road. He started insisting loudly and using bad language for 100rs fare. I was not in a situation for verbal fight because my grandpa was already standing besides me (waiting for me as he is not able to walk properly because of his oldness and illness) and also my neighbours will get disturb, so I just took a snap of his vehicle number (MH 12 FA 2470) and I hope no one will get cheated like this...
I wish this and such Auto rickshaw drivers should be punished,
Auto no: MH 12 FA 2470

sir, i don't know when u posted this complaint but i think no action has been taken by manipal police or consumer court to resolve this problem up till now this for sure. at night just after 7 auto rickshaw drivers start charging double.that too not by meter but their own fairs. none of the auto rickshaw driver cares for the authority that they r wrong doers and will be punished.today i asked an auto rickshaw driver to start his meter he asked me to get down from his auto.
and my question is who looks through our complaints posted on this page.does any official looks here or cares.
please take care of this problem otherwise this will be carried out again and again
.

I regularly take auto from Bhikaji Cama Bhawan R.K.Puram to Munirka bewteen 20:00pm I asked him to start the meter but he said its ok don't worry you just what you paid always but after travelling he asked me to Rs. 50 From Bhikaji Cama Bhawan R.K.Puram to Munirka the distance between not more than 2km, autual charges is Rs. 20-22.when I asked him to why he is not start the meter why he is charging more than the meter, he suddenly use the abusive language, force me to pay what he is asking. After all i have paid but this is very in delhi about autorikshaw traveller.

Auto number DL 4518.

Auto Rickshaw — Charging more than the meter reading

The auto no is MH03 M 5375. The autowala was asking more than the money as per the meter. He said he will charge 20Rs more than meter. I had to go to airoli from LTT station

This always happen especially in Navi Mumbai area. Autowalas never travel by meter. They already fixed charge for all destinations. againt meter cards provided by Govt. recently I travelled from Airoli to Mahape based on Meter. It was only 54/-. May the driver was ignorant about fixed rate i.e. between 80/- and 100/-. This clear evidence about looting of mumbai autowalas from its customers.

auto complaint — Excess fare

I have seen this happening many times now. I have come to Bangalore few times from Chennai or Coimbatore in overnight buses and got down at Silk Board which is a major junction in Bangalore early in the morning between 5-6 AM.

None of the autos available at that time come by meter and ask for exorbitant rates. They ask for Rs. 200/- even for going upto Jayanagar 5th block. One is already tired due to the bus journey. On top of that you have luggage and then you to bargain with these guys on the side of the road. This is very stressful.

I hope the authorities do something in this regard and dont let these autofellows fleece the customers.

Thanks

Auto Rickshaw — Incorrect fare charged

MH.02
UA.8647

The above mentioned rickshaw has a tampered electronic meter. His fare for a short distance that comes to Rs. 12 shows as Rs. 16.

Auto Rickshaw — Refusing transport to desired destination

Auto rickshaw registration no MH 03 V 826 Date: 14th July 09 Time: 7:40 PM Location: Dahisar Station East refused to take me to desired location and arrogantly stated that he will forcibly take me out of the rickshaw when I asked him to take me to my home. When I told him that I will complain to police station he told me go ahead as he has some connection with the police station and as he was running meter from previous ride he was about to blame me saying that I haven't paid his fare at the police station. Hence I am complaining this matter to your respective authority in hope of taking action against this situation which is very common nowadays. Kindly take the action against all such rickshaw and bus drivers who behave arrogantly and does not serve passengers and refuses from their duty.

The auto rickshaws at malad goregaon stations (west) deny taking a fare most of the times. They either rush away with half or full meter down. If not the case they deny a fare. About 80% of the crowd travels to in orbit, hyper city, mind space and Toyota. We need to spend at least 15 -20 mins to get a rickshaw. because of this trouble ppl have started sharing the autos and the rickshaw drivers object to that.I have complained at the local police station and also the RTO but to no heed. At times we have seen the traffic hawaldars around but they are busy eating or talking amongst themselves.

Hi ,
On 28/12/2010 , Tuesday , I travelled from Borivali (West), near Chamunda Motors, to Goregaon (East), near Oberoi International School by Rickshaw Number: MH-03-AA-6085 , Driver's Name: Rahul Gupta. I had to pay him Rs.72 & just by looking at the meter I felt it was moving too quickly.

I just want him to get his meter checked & run it properly.

Dear Sir,
On 19.02.2011 i took rickshow ( MH 02 Z 249) from Goregaon stn.(East) for sonawala Cross road at 6.25 PM. after reaching sonawala compound i told the driver from sonawala i have to visit Gajraj Compound approx 1km from sonawala. But he refused to go there saying i should have told him before. Meter was down that time i didn't gave him money or drop the rick. so i said ill pay by meter at gajraj compound but he refused.( It's not that we fixed ill pay him Rs.11 from goregaon Station East to Sonawala compound (Approx.).08 Km & i told him that i have to go somewhere Else & ill pay only Rs.11/- Meter was on & i was willing to pay the fare as per meter reading All the way From STATION TO SONAWALA COMPOUND & FROM THERE TO GAJRAJ COMPOUND ANOTHER 1KM.)but he said he will restart the meter. only thing i came to know is he took advantage. He heard me talking on the cell that i want to rush to Gajraj compound Urgently. but i had to get down at sonawala compound. Its not the matter of another Rs11/- Taking advantage & when i told him ill make complent re-laxly he said go & do the same. his age must be somewhere 35 to 40 or little more. muslim (Dadhi & White cap)Kazi type.
I asked him his name & licence no but he refused to do the same.
If the fare is increased for Rs.9 to Rs.11 Or Taxi Rs.14 to Rs.16 & passengers are still on Toll is big disgrace.

SORRY I AM TAKING FEW MINITS OF YOUR VALUED TIME.

Due to work i travel very often from Goregaon to Bhandup. Route & distance is same. 3 to 4 year back & now.( pawai, Hiranandai road is now traffic free) Since last few months Out of 10 Rickshow 6 Rickshow meter show reading from 11.60 to 12.50 That's shocking ( EVERY TIME DIFFRENT RICKSHOW ) & remaining 4 rick. meters were in between 9.70 to max 10.10.
More than Year back Rickshow Meter use to show 9.50. 9.60 to 10.00 or 10.10 max. From Goregaon to Bhandup. Same for Goregaon to T junction.
Like kids grow same way Roads are Growing?
I Don't Know the science of this?
Fare Rs.9 to Rs.11. still fast meter?
From T junction to Goregaon before it was 9.50 to 9.90. same story like bhandup Goregaon.
I can understand if the CAB or Rick owner Refuse to go to customers Desired destination ( Bhai mery marji ) but fast meter?
There few good Cab & Rick owner with true meter but after all money!!

RTO Tariff card has fare upto 10.00 - Rs.128.00 & its not known how much for Meter 12.70? I had to pay Rs.175/- no other choice.
10.10- Rs.?
10.20- Rs.?
10.30- Rs.?

My humble request to RTO department is that IF POSSIBLE START THE SAME TRANSPORT SYSTEM LIKE GOA. In mumbai we have BEST Undertaking in GOA Kadamba but due to Private transport.
Passenger is KING.
HAAT DAKHAWA BUS THAMBAVA.
Compitsion like mobile call before was Costing Rs.14 now Zero paisa per Second.
Here BEST bus hardly halts @ stop. some time Driver or Conductor is in hurry. Don't have Change (Ting. bus ruki passenger niche) And will give advice get the change & take the Bus. Not happen with me. I seen. Feel sorry to see that. Some time Bus halts way ahead of Bus-stop or some time little further.
Moral BUS, RICK & TAXI IS KING HERE.

Auto-rickshaw — auto-rickshaw meter too fast

I took auto rickshaw DLIR G-4370 this morning from Safdarjung Terminal to Nehru Place. The meter was jumping really fast and the fare was inflated. When i asked the driver about it, he got rude and started to mis-behave. I paid him in full though but he never accepted that his meter was fast. I told him several times that i take auto every morning for last 3 years from here only but he started to misbehave.

I request the concerned authorities to please take immediate step and stop such harrassment to users.

I shall be highly thankful.

I want to file a complaint against a auto rikshaw guy, as his meter was too fast & was very rude. So help me where i can give his complaint.

Autorickshaw — Charging of excess fare through tampered meter

This is a problem which I face daily i.e either the auto drivers will charge excess fair or otherwise they will not be ready to take me to the destination. There are are also instances where there are tampering of auto meter. Today, I faced a situation where there is tampering of meter resulting in excess rate. Today morning, I was coming from Kaggadasapura to CMH for which meter charge is only around Rs. 35 but in the meter it was Rs. 54. I refused to pay the excess amount and there ocuured argument. I demanded the driver to go to Indiranagar Police Station for which I got abusive reply which I do not wat mention here. The driver dragged me out of the auto and I was assulted. Anyway I gave him only Rs. 35/-. I have already given a complaint to the Indiranagar Police Station.
During the struggle I could not notice the auto number. However other details I could write from the display card inside the auto and the same is already given to the Police.

I request that this is to be taken very seriously as this is a daily problem everybody faacing from the autodrivers.

Means he has no guilt no same nothing. I have noted his no. that is MH03R - 8311.

This is for your necessary action.

Poonam

auto — Excess Fare Charged by Auto

Hi,

I am dropping this complaint after being terribly disgusted by an auto driver over excess fare. Usually when I come to office the meter reads somewhere around 4.8 to 5.1, for which I am required to pay Rs 36 - 40. Whereas today (09/11/09) it went up to 7.5, not to mention the meter was already tapered and the driver took a Rs 50 note and never returned the change inspite to telling him to do so a lot of times. The Auto registration no is MH12 R3482. Any action on this will be highly appreciated.

rickshaw/ Auto — tampered rickshaw/ auto meter

Hello,

I travel every day from Goregaon east to Santacruz East (Kalina). I used to pay anything between Rs.120 - 150 one way, irrespective of traffic. After the strike when few autos had the corrected their meters and I paid 80 - 90.

However, there are a few rickshaw meters are still not corrected. Besides these auto drivers have the audacity to ask to customers to get off and find another auto. The auto numbers are given below and request the concerned authorities to please take action them;

MH02UA6863
MH03AK6221
MH03AK7583

I am very happy with the initiative the Traffic Police has taken. Please continue this good work and take action before Mumbai becomes another Delhi!

Thank you.

Hi,

This is regarding a recent incident which happended to be.The autorickshaw driver misbehaved and utterred bad words in his native language and also asked for more fare. I was forced to share an auto with a lady who was in the same route as mine with slight deviation.I told her thatthe fare will be shared and she hande over tome Rs 20 once she arrived at her stop.After I that Igot down at my place and handed over Rs 20 +20= rs 40 to the autorickshaw driver.He asked me for Rs 10 more saying that that the lady gave me rs 30 and he wanted Rs 30.I told him in Hindi many times that she gave me rs 20 only and inisted on going back to the lady and chceking with her.But this the driver was not at all ready eventhough I mentioned she is very close.Then came an array of bad words and shouting in native language.

Rsichshaw driver:Resident of R.T Nagar aged in 40s
Auto no:KA 04 A 7160

Today morning i came from Delmia Circle to Bilekahalli, Bannergatta Road by auto. The meter showed minimum charges i.e. Rs.17/- & i gave him Rs.20/- as the auto minimum fare is changed from 17/- to 20/-. But he asked me to pay Rs.22/-, when i asked him the reason & he said the minimum charge is not 20/- but 22/-. I said daily i come by auto & pay only Rs.20/- & refused to give 2/- he used abusive language in front of everyone.

Hi

This is for information only.I too have faced same problem and tried googling on net to find out some place and no to complain.

I read from internet regarding an old interview of Deputy Controller, legal metrology department, Mr. Ram Kumar (7 December 2004 and I don't know whether he is heading that now or not) regarding increased instances of tampered meters. He had mentioned a tel no[protected] in which one can complain regarding tampered meter between 8 am to 8 pm. I called that no and was redirected to another no[protected] to make complain.

I called the the no then[protected]. The person was cooperative and lodged complain on the auto-rickshaw no. And gave me tips which I am writing for everyone's knowledge.

Tip-1: If you face situation like this, call to[protected] at the auto driver presence.
Tip-2: Find out any traffic police nearby and just orally lodge the complain. The traffic police will siege the documents and will send the driver to Metrology department to verify the meter.

Hope this will workout.

Those people which are living in Pune & Mumbai are lucky.
because they pay money as per electronics meter fare.
But I am living in Ahmed Nagar. Till Date Not a single Auto is running as per the fare meter as per RTO norms.
From the date when RTO department establish in Ahmednagar . No one has taken action & follow the Rule.
All RTO has to give punishment for not doing their job properly & not given proper service to the public. Because they are our servant. & we have to give them punishment. Any one take action against this. Controller, Transport Office. Is their any T.N. Sheshan in RTO office. or all are Nandi Bail.

When i tried to pull his coller & asked him to stop the rick that time he stopped & got down & said you wait & watch what i am going to do with you people & was calling someone from his cell & more than that it was very dark over there & no one was passing we immediate again called on 100 for help but surprisingly they told that we are just taking phone complaint incase of anything else please visit Malad police station.

Chandigarh Rickshaw rates must be regulated. There is open loot going on and the drivers are charging whatever they like. eg From sector 4 panchkula railway colony to DT mall its Rs 30 one way. Its not even 1 KM. They all answer the same "this is what we charge". Do they really get to regulate the rates? I guess in Chandigarh THEY DO.
