[Resolved]  Bangalore Auto — Excess Rates Asked by Auto Drivers in The Night Time

Address:

Bangalore, Karnataka

Hello,
My name is Abhishek and my father and I had an encounter with a auto driver named Md. Asif on 12/05/2010 Wednesday night at 8.30 PM.
It was around 8.20 when our train arrived at Bangalore Cantonment station and it took 10 minutes for us to come out on the road, where we queued for prepaid auto. At that point in time the prepaid auto service was suspended as there were no autos available. So we stopped another auto and told him we wanted to go to Mathikere, and he straight forward asked for 1 and half at 8.30 pm. I protested but he said that he has to come back without any passengers from there. So I asked him as to why he has to charge that amount from us. He told if you wanna come get in the auto else leave.
The attitude of the auto drivers is the worst in Bangalore, its even worst than their driving. Also the excess demand in fare in a big concern for the daily commuters.
I have however gather the Driver's Licence details:
Name: Md. Asif
DL No: 4443/99
Badge No: 301/99
Police SL No: 113233/09.
I want to know if any actions will be taken against Md. Asif and many other Md. Asifs running auto in the city.
Many Thank and Regards,
Abhishek
