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.
