For 20 rs charge distance it became 30 rs. when i asked he gave non- sense answer.
Took action on him.

Hi

I have complaint against the auto number KA-02 A 5164.

I was travelling from Rammurthy Nagar to Marathalli. His meter showed difference of more than 15 rupees and on the top of that the driver is demanding more money. The driver does not have the auto driver identification also.

I urge Bangalore RTO to take action against these type of bandit autos which

1. does not have ID
2. has a faulty meter.
3. demanding more money on the top of faulty meter's fare.

I hired an auto rickshaw on 5/3/10 at 8.45 am to travel from Chandivali to Andheri(E) western express highway via Jogeshwari-Vikhroli link road. Since I travel on this route on a daily basis I am aware that the cost is not more than Rs. 60, but this rickshaw's meter reading was Rs.80. When I complained to the driver regarding the meter being fast, he vehemently denied it and blamed the high charges on traffic though the traffic was at normal level. The rickshaw number is MH 03 R 9952, the driver didn't give me his name.

I hope this driver is penalized so that he doesn't continue to take his passenger for a ride...

Similar thing happened in my case, my bike is in repair and I have been taking an auto to work in the mean time. Every day I spend Rs.50-55 for the auto. Today, for the same distance, the meter came to Rs.77. I do not want to waste my time over Rs.20 and if I go behind this, I will lose 5 times what I was cheated off with no guarantees on results and probably my address will be in the hands of the auto driver who will be waiting for me with his goons for giving the complaints as has been in known cases of Taxi drivers. Or for Rs.20, I will have to take him to the police station, waste time there, get a pay cut for being late to work and await the auto drivers revenge. So I do not want to pursue it any further. This is the case in lakhs of other people but I feel bad that I know somebody is openly cheating me and I cannot do anything about it. If I start to question the driver, I can be verbally abused by professionals and as they do not give bills, they will demand proof. There should be a portal where we can give these numbers and the auto should be inspected in surprise and the meter checked. There are enough and more numbers of people who are cheated here with auto numbers, but is there a use? The best way that I see it is that all auto meters should be made government property and autos have to give a deposit for it, equal to its cost . And tampering with govt. property is a criminal offence leading to hefty penalty. I am still hoping somebody will someday do something about it. So my ric number was KA 04 C 3684.

This is regarding travelling by auto from bannerghatta main road to Jambu savari dinne.. It is just 1-2 km travel..If i catch auto during morning time to bannerghatta main rd, it will be 15-18 only meter charge, but while coming back they will not accept meter charge, they are asking for 40-50 rs. They are justifying by saying that they will not get people for return. so 30 rs maximum is the amount public can give, but what about more than that??? This is also cheating r8... They will start shouting if we don't give, then how ladies can travel by auto???

This is what is happening in all over the Bangalore places especially out of city... These drivers cheat public without any justification. They will not accept meter charge and they will charge triple the amount of actual reading... Normal people cannot afford this amount if they are forced to travel regularly by auto (in case of no other transportation availability or some physical problem).

Kindly do some needful with regards to this matter.

Autorickshaw — Tampered Auto Rickshaw Meter & Rude behavior by driver

Today I took the auto (reg # KA05 AA6876) from Silk board to J P Nagar 8th phase. I travel this route almost every day and pay in the range of Rs. 60 to 65. His meter showed Rs. 87. I told him nicely that the actual meter charges are 60 - 65 and he cannot charge so much. He started talking badly and refused to give my 100 rupee note back. I called the security of our building and asked for help. But this driver started talking very badly in Kanadda. I did tell him that we'll inform the police with his auto number - to which he laughed saying that the police will do nothing about such matters.

Infact thats the plight of our city and I feel very sorry about this!!! None of the auto drivers are even bothered when we say that we will call the police or for that matter frightened of the police men in our city. Its a pathetic condition where such callous drivers get away with cheating normal public every single day without being penalised by our law. I wonder if any one would take action this complain.

I called the auto complain section and filed and case against this auto. But I also know for sure that they will hardly take any action againt this auto guy.

Hi,

I regularly commute from south-end circle to East-end main road. The digital meters wil usuaaly show around 28-30 bucks, i.e it s exactly 4 Kms. An auto with number KA-05 A 8815 showed 37 bucks, i.e 5.3 KMs. When i refused to pay he started following me and threatened me that he will follow me till my office and will collect the amount by entering my company premises. I didnt budge an inch and argued with him and started walking away and boarded another bus from there.

That driver didn't have any license stuck behind his seat.

Autorickshaw — Tampered auto rickshaw meter

I travel daily from Mulund (E) to High Street, Powai, in morning at 8:35-8:40 am. Generally, the fare comes to be between Rs. 60 to 65. I prefer to take an MH02 rickshaw, as I have found the MH03 rickshaw meters to be tampered on most occasions. However, recently I took MH03 AA rickshaw twice, and the meter to my surprise showed Rs 80 to 85 for the same distance! Both times the drivers said that this is the correct reading, that it touches 100 in other rickshaws. I paid Rs 75 after much heated argument. It is the harrasment and frustration at the hands of auto rickshaw drivers that causes more pain than the extra money we have to shell out. Below are the registration numbers of the ricks -

MH03 AA 2117
MH03 AA 1271

I request the authorities to take strict action against these rickshaws.

Thanks and regards,
Swati Agarwal

Today I was traveling in an auto from lake road BTM to silk board and none of the auto driver was ready to go, they gave excuse that lot's of rush is there on silk board.At last I found one auto driver who was ready but he told that he will not go on meter and fix he will take Rs30, as I was getting late for office I took that auto and after reaching to silk board he told that he will not go towards EC where Madivala flyover ends because he will not find a near by u turn.
when I forced him to go, he started shouting in Kanada and behaved very rudely. I gave him Rs30 and got down of Auto, when I started noting his registration no he told that you can note it and if you want my phone number I can also give you that, you go and do whatever you want even police cannot do any thing to me.
He gave threatning that I will see you.
Kindly tell some RTO office where we can do complain about this and never they are ready to go by meter, so what's the use of keeping meter in Auto.

what is the use of posting our comments when no action is taken against the auto drivers. We are simply wasting our time. These ACP/DCP just useless

auto rickshaw meters — tampered rickshaw meters

I live in pump house andheri east and we residents have a tough time finding an auto from staion to ply us back home, In the event we get one, their meters are tampered. On compaining to cops they send us from one place to another to lodge complaints. and increase our harrasment. How do we control this?.
Now that the auto fare has increased as per the autodrivers demands, we as commuters demand a fair policy fare to ensure we dont end up paying extra money each time we take a auto ride.
ARE THE AUTHORITIES LISTENING????

Driver name: Akail Pasha.
Driving License: Number 1297/89
Badge Number: 9860/88

Auto Number: KA-02-4456

This driver had charged me Rs.100/- at 6:30 pm. for a distance of merely 4 kilometers. I did not beat him just to check if there is any system which takes care about law and order in bangalore by lodging a complaint. I had tried calling many numbers posted online but to no profit.

If issue prevails god save them and me ;-)

They demand Rs. 30/- (somtime Rs. 60/-) to take ppl from IBM office in Bannerghatta Road to Udupi Garden signal/Tavarekere bus stop which will not cross 2 kms distance. They never user metre..

Though the place is like heart of the city this is the audocity they show demanding any fare they like without using metre.. Tried couple of times to reach Autorikshaw complaint cell no. available on net[protected] but getting fax tone, no one answered my call on that no.

Kindly action on these Autorikshaw drivers.

Dear All,

This is purely the mistake of our own Government i can say. Here every day we travel by auto they ask for more money & double charges extra amount, meter problem & the place where we ask they will not come. Then wat for we must pay them the aggred amount in the Auto hike charges. I strongly recommand our Transportation Minister Mr.Ashok to take serious action on all the above mentioned auto driver. No body is bothered to solve the issue of the public. All our ministers want to take care of them self expect the problems of public.We need to teach all the auto driver a lesson so requesting to call immeditly this particular Tel:[protected] for all your problems.

Auto rickshaw tampered meter — Tampered meter

I took an auto no KA 02 8816 today from R T Nagar to Kasturi Nagar. For every km the meter jumped three Rs more and the fare was 89 Rs.

With the new fares getting implemented tomorrow and with these tampered meters it is going to be difficult for commuters like me.
