[Resolved]  Bangalore Auto — Excess fare

Address:

Bangalore, Karnataka

This is regarding the auto rickshwas in the Whitefield area of Bangalore.

I am quoting my experience with the autowallas standing near Vydehi hospital. The autowallas here have a sort o[censored]nion and charge Rs. 20 since 2 years (that I have seen) for going from Vydehi Bus stop to Accenture office which is less than a kilometer. They never go with the meter reading. It happened when the minimum fare was Rs. 14 and is continuing now. They have only increased the nuisance by NOT allowing 2 persons to share the auto and demanding Rs. 30 in case they want to share the ride. This is not only unethical but considering today's scenario, an utter waste of natural resource just because of the greed of such people.

Its been 2 years and I have witnessed this, and abusive language being used by auto drivers when being asked to take the fare amount. They wouldnt care even if it is a woman that they are speaking to. I just hope that the Bangalore police takes care of such nuisance created by auto drivers all over Bangalore and try to improve the reputation of this means of transport.
