Auto Rickshaw Complaints & Reviews

Hi,

I & my wife were trying to find an auto rickshaw to reach the bangalore city railway station from millers road but the auto drivers would demand 70 - 80 Rs. OR they refuse to come to City railway station (especially to the Okalipuram gate). None of the rickshaw drivers agree to run the meter.

I usually have a chat with these guys making them realise that they are public servants and not businessmen. This...

It is outrageous how Auto Rickshaws are allowed to take advantage of students in the city of Manipal. Manipal, being a University Town, is inhabited primarily by students. This gives Auto Unions to take advantage of the students, and charge them with outrageous amounts for short distances! There is not an honest Auto Rickshaw driver in town. And, what is worse is the foul temperament of the drivers that the students face when drivers are...

All the rickshaw walas refuse to go by meter and they ask for 30-50 Rs where in by meter it is hardly 20 Rs. They are a group and everyone refuses to go by meter. Moreover because of there monopoly no other auto stops there. Please help me on how to sort out this problem. Daily I need to walk a long distance...

This message is for all those who are complaining about faulty meters (overcharging) of auto rickshaws. There is no use writing the Vehicle Regn Nos here. If you really want to do something make a written complaint to the concerned RTO giving all details like Regn No of the vehicle, Travel details like time and point of origin and destination. After sending the letter follow-up till some action is taken by the RTO. Only by this collective...

I had taken an auto from Pune station to Pimple Saudagar (around 16 KM) at 8:30 AM on 2nd March 2010
At the taxi stand he told me that he would take 20 Rs more then meter. After reaching the destination
The meter reading was 16.00 Rs i.e. ( Around 115 Rs apx) He asked me for 180 Rs.

He told me that he would be charging by 10 Rs * meter reading + 20 Rs i.e. 10 * 16 + 20 = 180.

On 23rd I boarded an auto-rickshaw along with my mom from Manipal Hospital. We explained him that I underwent a knee surgery and requested him to drive carefully to HBR Layout. The right fare from Manipal hospital to HBR layout is 110 to 120 rupees [maximum].

In middle of the way, he demanded 250 rupees and looted 150 and dropped us near RMZ building near Ulsoor. Usually it will take not more than 50 rupees from Manipal to...

Hi,

At Dehu Road (Vikas Nagar) none of the Auto Rickshaw has meters and they demand whatever fare they feel like (say for strech of 1KM, they ask 25.00 Rs).
Moreover when asked about meters they say, this is how it works in Dehu Road. Also I have seem some drivers saying boldy that they don't even have the permit, do whatever you want.
Also I feel some of them are local goons who threaten with dire consequences...

The auto driver demanded INR 50/- for the distance covered of less than 1 KM. When I offered him INR 30/- (when the original fair is INR 14/-), he started using all abusive and foul languages possible. He tried abusing me physically as well. I immediately dialed at 100 from my mobile and at that moment signal went green and he...

Dear Govt. Representetive,

I am a Mumbai resident & daily travelling in auto from my home (Jogeshwari) to work (Kurla). I had observed the Auto Frae Meter varies from 75 to 100. How I can know what I am paying is correct?

COMPLAINT:- Rikshaw Drivers offten cheat people by charging excess fare..They don't show "Meter Card" if asked by any passenger. Also there is a big misconception in minds of people in mumbai that what ever amount is shown on meter we have to substract one rupee and that's the correct auto fare..

Hi,

I traveled from Swargate (bypass) to Baner Road. The meter started off with 10 Kms reading. And when asked about it, he said that the meter always starts with 10 kms. Now the end reading was 32 Kms, which I am sure is not the correct distance between Swargate and Baner. Finally, he showed some very old Meter Rating card and charged me Rs. 400/- at morning 6 a.m saying its 1.5 times meter charge.
The rickshaw number...

It is very common these days to come across rickshaws with tampered meters. Though the rickshaw drivers dont acknowledge that they have actually tampered with the meters, they eventually accept the correct fare that is given to them.

However there are a few who dont accept it. I came across one such rickshaw driver (Vehicle registration no. MH 03 AK 3865) in Bandra. I had taken the Rickshaw from Bandra station (West) to go...

Dear Sir/ Maam,

I told him he can't charge 70 bucks for...

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...

Dear Sir/ Madam,

Those who are travelling in Autos in Hyderabad regularly can imagine how the auto drivers are cheating though the transport department claims that the digital meters are tamper proof.
