[Resolved]  Autorickshaw — Bangalore auto rickshaw - tampered meters

Hi

I am feeling very bad with this incident. On 10.08.2010 i was going on my bike near Bangalore City railway station, unfortunately i hitted an auto (Nothing is happened to any vehicle), due to he is stopped his vehicle all of sudden, I asked him why he did like, he started to talk very roughly with very bad language, since my wife is also sits back to me she said, there is no meaning in speking to this uncultrued guy, let we move.

So i felt right, so i moved, but i don't know what intention he(Auto Driver) had, he started to chasing me, and he came rashly infront of my vehicle and stopped near Okalipuram, i forcefully applied the break, we fell down on the road.

That Driver(Probably he is drunken) came back and started hitting me, i was so shocked for his behavior all of sudden many people surrounded and they started abusing that rude stupid Driver.

Then he started telling so many stories, i felt so bad, i planned 2 take him 2 Police station, but it was already 10 PM on that time and my wife is in very much shock, so i went from there(Peoples forced me to leave that place).

So my question is can i lodge a complain on that rude auto driver. The Auto No. was KA-05 C 1213.

Even i found out in the Traffic violation site that there is a 5 complaints lodged on him for signal jump and violating traffic rules.

So can any one help me to teach this rude guy a lesson, i don't know how he may be acting with his customer. He looks like an Criminal.

Hoping for your suggestions. I don't want the same situation should come to some other Victim.

Autorickshaw refuses to take to destination from DINDOSHI Infinity Park.

In j.p nagar 7th phase there is no auto rickshaw which is going by meter. In morning office time no one is going by meter.


I am facing problem to get a auto to go shopper stop also.
For shopper stop there are charging 50 or 60 min.

So we have to go nandini hotel they can get a auto.

SIR, ive had the pleasure of taking 2 tampered meters with owners that have pushed me to make special notes of their demand, both who coughed up a pre-demanded price of 20 rupees extra on top of the metre fare .

For the first incident, the usual fare is about 47 rupees on a 7rs/km meter, that comes to about 60 rupees on the new metre with 9 rs/km(this is from JYOTHI NIVAS COLLEGE TO BELLANDUR GATE, BANGALORE), so the fare comes abt Rs 80 . I did warn him about his meter being tampered way on time with my knowledge of certain landmarks en route, but with the magician son of a 's tampered meter it came Rs 60 on the normal meter and he demanded a cocky price of Rs 100, which is certainly awe taking! ...had he shut his mouth and not pushed me i would have paid a mutual Rs 90 but then again he started calling me names not worth mentioning in a forum for even the lower class . AUTO RICKSHAW
NO. KA 05 1349

For the second so called incident, an auto driver took me to my bus station ( AT MADIWALA FROM BELLANDUR GATE, BANGALORE) .. the fair being abt Rs 55, this being the time when the meter fare was Rs 7 a kilometre, he demanded a fair of 70 which i was ready to give, but then he started doing these sulking disgusting acts which i believe belongs to them carnivores and with his partners there in crime(other rickshaw buttheads), they made me believe that the road there was under construction and he had to take an awful round route which on metre would be another two km ...so after all the annoying and insane driving tribal acts he did with his costars and not to mention the time of mine he wasted, we set on a fare of 90 rupees. He then took me the normal route and as obvious to you there was no construction going on in the interjection he had addressed earlier ...and finally charged me the 90 rupees. I was so pissed i raised my voice to which he called my parents words again i couldnt mention and i noted his
NO. KA 05 B4466

Autorickshaw — overcharging

I was looking for an auto to come to office in the morning at 9. I was in baner and had to come to till pune station which otherwise takes about 80 bucks. All the auto-rickshaw's on the baner stand were already overcharging, one auto which came by with the registration number mh-12 3425 asked for a whopping 200 and when i said i'll complain he started shouting and created a scene on the road. I think it is high time something is done about such nuisance, if they are not ready to work there are lots of other people who would be willing to do it earnestly.

Hi,

I want to complain against Auto driver of KA-05 D-6609

I took this auto from HSR to Shantinagar on 21st March in the morning. Since I travelled regularly by this route I realised this auto meter is tampered so I asked auto driver to stop the auto. I gave him amount shown on meter (even though it was more than the regular fare) . He took that amount and started abusing me in Kannada. When I tried to get down he did not stop auto and he continued shouting in Kannada. He finally stopped auto after repeated requests. He was extremely rude and arrogant.

I hope Bangalore Police will take some strong action against such shameless and cheating auto drivers. I hope in future no one face such horrible situation like me.

Thanks

Hi,

I want to add to this list by saying there are various SEVERE problems faced by public today with regard to the auto rickshaw service. Major ones are :

1) Refusal to come to most destinations.
2) Rude behavior ( whether you are a passenger or you are driving on the roads of the city).
3) Excess charge levied for no rhyme or reason ( lame excuse given is they will not get any passenger in return, rains etc...)

Lets remember this is a PUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICE and these drivers cannot act or demand as per their whims and fancies. We all should make the RTO complaint system against autos more stronger by giving their auto numbers to the following numbers.

# KA-01 Koramangala[protected]
# KA-02 Rajajinagar[protected]
# KA-03 Indiranagar[protected]
# KA-04 Yeshwantpur[protected]
# KA-05 Jayanagar[protected]
# KA-41 Gyanabharthi[protected]
# KA-50 Yelahanka[protected]
# KA-51 Electronic City[protected]
# KA-52 NeelaMangala[protected]
# KA-53 KR Puram[protected]

Hope this system really works !

Thank you.

BAngalore transport — Auto rickshaw not ready to play

Dear Sir,

I have a complaint against bangalore's autorickshaw drivers. Today i had bad experience with few auto drivers.
1) Driver of auto no. KA-03 C 7761 asked for Rs.250 though the auto's meter was working at 9 AM today to travel from banaswadi to basavangudi - lalbagh west gate. When i questioned he said that the traffic is heavy and that is why he is charging. He also challenged that the distance is 18 kms though it is only 15 kms.
2)Auto nos.
KA05-AA7502, KA03 B5578, KA02 AA4628 also refused to come from banaswadi to basavangudi.
When i questioned as to which route does your autos go, they replied that their autos will only stand in the auto stand but not ready to travel anywhere. Another citizen of bangalore asked the same drivers to travel from banaswadi to brigade road, they are asking for 170 rupees outright.
Request you to take suitable action against these drivers.

Thanks.
Bangalore citizen

now you can report excess fare and other auto complaints here on this website www.excessfare.com

you can either report by SMS or by visiting this website ...but this is only unofficial website, and not from traffic police.

Autorickshaw — refusal to go

i wud like to bring to notice that many auto rickshaws standing outside gangaram hospital and hindu rao hospital who trouble all cumuters who have no other means of transport but auto....i am a doctor in gangaram and i pass the stand very often.these auto drivers have the odasity to ask for huge fares without lowering the meter reading and refuse to go to the place concerned giving false excuses or simply saying no.i have also noted some auto numbers which include----DL 1R H 2368 and DL 1R D 0627.......and i really want some action to be taken against them and that too sooon.

Today around 8.25 AM I requested an auto waiting near Shantipark, Jayanagar 9th Block main gate facing the Woodys restaurant, to tkae me to M G Road. Auatorickshaw regn no; is KA03 9621. It was parked on the footpath.

Initially he declined to take me to M G Road. After wards he demanded Rs 110. Though I requested him to run the meter and demand the charges he refused. Further up on the road I took another auto and he dropped me at M G Road and charged Rs 70.

Why is the indifferent attotude of some autodrivers? Why cant the authorities initiate action?

auto rickshaw meters — Tampering with meters

I reside at Ghatkoper East and my work place is at Andheri Seepz. Most of the time I take a Rickshaw to work and the meter comes around 70-75 INR; with moderate traffic and an appropriate meter - the route being Ghatkoper East - Shreyas - Kailas - Hiranandani - Seepz JVLR Gate. But, everytime the meter is 100 INR without much traffick on the way. When I disagree and tell the driver that meter is tampered, reading is extravagant, they start arguing falsely and use offensive words despite giving them the extra-meter reading fare !
Had a Constable been around, I would have complained about it. Request you to depute a Constable at major spots since a lot of common man travel to such places via rickshaws and most of the time meteres are Tampered.
Also, request the RTO to check the meters at the time of giving oput licenses to Auto Rickshaws and keep a Check on it Randomly to curb the issue.
