[Resolved]  Auto Rickshaw — Tampered Auto Rickshaw Meter at Hyderabad

Shakti Tv — Neglectance of Rail police

I am a daily passenger from Ballabgarh to New Delhi and have been observing the rough attitude of the Railway police for quiet a long period now.
While travelling in the evening, on EMU GDP 06 or HNH1, we daily face so many problems owing to the neglect duties by the RP staff. The ladies compartment, reserved for the ladies PER SAY also resemble the general compartment as the compartment is mostly occupied by men and if we ask them to get down they backfire in abusive language.
Is this not the duty of RP officers to offer security to the passengers? Do they not owe just this small a courtesy to us???

I fully agree to this...There is auto meter tampering in more than 70% of the autos.

You can try out the helpline of Andhra Pradesh Legal Metrology Helpline [protected]

Thanks Rakesh ...

I tried that no atleat 10 times...And without any surprise about Govt department...NO ONE LIFT THE CALL

Hi

This is for information only.

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.

=>Always while paying the fare at destination check the distance reading with the rare reading.

speedy meter — Rickshow Meter

From Goregoan to Bhandup rickshow meter shows 9.00 to 10.00.
Today on 28.01.2010. i been to bhandup in Rick. NO. MH 03 V 5557. at 2.30p.m. most of the time i pay less than Rs.100 today i endup paying Rs.120. Due to official work i most of the time visit between Goregoan to Bhandup I have seen out of 10 rick. 7 rickshows Meters are fast. No Starts fm. MH 03 falls in the 7once. I hope RTO dept. do some kind of Sudden Checks to find out corrept meters. new digital meters are even performs the same way. there are so many meter repairing shop in city who may be doing some setting change with the meter after RTO Dept. passing. in both kind of meters. Cause In maruti800 cab. from Mankhurd to bema complex in kalamboli i ped Rs.425.

BESTUNDERTAKING TRANSPORT.

B.E.S.T. Conductors behave like they owns the bus. Bus drivers dont have time to halt on bus stop. some time little futher or ahead.
I have seen bus conductors talk any how with passengers no metter if its senior citizen. There are few Good men in company.
I THINK ITS BETTER IN GOA where passenger is the King atlest they get PROPER RESPONCE form private bus owner.
If Bestundertaking cant provide suggestion box in bus depo or ONLINE. or complent dept. in Bus Depo. Its dept. staff will behave the way they are.
I FEEL GOVT. SHOULD ALLOW PRIVATE BUS OWNERS TO DO BUSINESS IN MUMBAI.

Remember Mobile charges when it started doing business & now?
Compitition makes thing AAl is Well.

BESTBUS DRIVERS ARE WORLD FAMOUS IN BUS DRIVERS.
Thanks

you should post the complaint to the traffic control room..works better than approaching auto unions

There should be some number or contact where the passengers could lodge complaints of Auto rickshaw drivers atrocities.

Clara — TAMPERED METER OF THE AUTO

Dear Higher Authority,

I travel from banaswadi to Mahadevpura everyday for work. I usually travel by Auto. the correct meter charge should be INR 40 on a 14 rupees meter and INR50 on a 17 rupees meter.

The Auto i got today was a cheat. He had tampered his meter to read a higher amount. On a 14 rupees meter his meter read INR 52 which amounts to INR 67 on a 17 rupees meter. i had to pay 17 rupees extra. That rascal auto driver didnt even return 3 rupees back to me.

THE AUTO NUMBER WAS KA 05 7540.

Please take him to task and fine him 10 times the addidtional amount that he took from me.

i look forward to a Repeated response.

I agree i too had a problem today.I travel from Upperpally to Red Hills every day and the meter is RS 68.00
and today it was Rs 78.00.I told the auto wala that the meter is wrong and he started using profanity.I didn't give in so i called the Helpline no [protected] and the no was constantly busy.I only paid the auto wala RS 68.00 and left.He said go ahead and lodge a complaint i'm not scared.

Today[protected]wednesDAY) I travelled by an Auto rickshaw from Ho.D-2, Madhuranagar near Yousuf guda to end of street no.1 of Tarnaka(below flyover) and the meter showed 14.0 KM Rs 97.40 which is the correct fare.Again I returned by the same route from stno.1 to D-2 madhuranagar by Auto no.AP 12 V -3515(owner-Mohd. Ahmed) and the Auto showed 16.5 KM and RS.114.60.i informed the driver that his meter is tampered but he demanded and took rs.115/ for the return trip made at 5-pm on[protected]. please verify the meter of AP12V 3515 which is nearly 18% excess over the mileage and also Fare.

Auto fair — Tampered Meter

Auto No. MH03-D-6531 meter is tampered. Normal fair from Amar Mahal comes to Rs. 50 (i.e. meter down 38-41). But this auto meter was down at 47, wereas regular meter is between 38-41.

For last 4 months, we travalled to DLF office by Share Auto's (Kondapur to DLF Gachibowli), Hyderabad. Charges per head worth Rs 15 (Kondapur to DLF Gachibowli) and Rs 20 (CyberTower to DLF Gachibowli). Distance is short and hardly less than 2 mins to reach at ridiculous price. We keep complaining this many times. Seems like police not bothering abt this. Need strict action against all auto's in hyderabad.

Auto NO: AP 11Y

Runs with tampered meter, almost Rs. 20 extra than usual charges. Kindly take action, so to uplift common man's miserable life...
pls

Hi,

Today I travelled from Secretariat to IIIT junction.
The fare always used to be between 130-150. Today it is 196/- . The auto number is AP12V4043
I argued with the autowala but for no use.
Please look into this and let me know if I should take further action.

hello,
my story is also same with little bit of difference. i traveled from gandhi hospital to GVK ONE mall(banjara hills rd no 1)on 25th jan 2013. the distance is around 9 km and fair rs 90, ok good.
on return trip, it was 9.45 pm on the same day, there was a huge traffic, finally i found an auto, and the autowala asked me half on meter and i said ok because of the traffic and the time. and after 4 km the meter showed 100 rs ( 100 rs for 4 km ) and I asked the autodriver about that, for half minute he argued with me that the distance we traveled was more than that, and became silent, continued driving.
i was constantly watching the meter and it began to slow down, from that point to my destination is 5 km, meter went from 100 to 140 ( here 40 for 5 km ). after reaching my destination he took 210 rs from me( half on meter 140 + 70 ) my 2 minutes of argument was of no use!!

AUTO NO - AP12 V5591

Auto No: AP 11V 6183

The driver of the above auto is a middle age RASCAL!!
He is fully drunken while driving. The auto doesnt have a meter, a horn, no indicators, and feels that he is riding the auto with petrol as such is the smoke coming out of it.

Please get him on to the court and save people!
