Hi,

I take an auto eveyday (for the past 2months) from Meenakshi Temple on Bannergahtta Road to my office on Langford Road. The fare, on the new meter (min. Rs.17) usually is ony abt Rs.92. The auto that i took today (KA 02 A 1129, and didnt even have the driver particulars displayed), despite using the old meter (min. Rs 14) showed Rs.99 that too abt .4Km before my destination and hence i ended up paying Rs.120. The old meter cannot go beyond Rs.100 and hence the auto driver reset the meter to another min Rs.14. When i told him my office is only abt 400mts from here, the unconsiderate pathetic told me to pay up or get down here and walk. When i told him his meter was rigged, he just demaned that i pay up.

I am not interested in getting the Rs.28 that i was charged extra. I just want to ensure that this auto driver doesnt go around cheating more people.

Regards,
Eswar

Hi,

Today i had a similar experience..I travel from Jal Bhavan on bannergatta road to the basavangudi swimming pool 5 days a week with my kids and my auto fare is only around Rs.54/- to 56/- maximum. However today i took this auto..(no.KA 02 B 970) who's meter was definitely rigged...He turned the meter to Rs17/- when we sat in it...but the minute we "reached" Tilak nagar which is not even the minimum distance of 2 km his meter started racing to Rs.26.He didn't even have his information displayed in the auto and was busy chatting on his phone while driving. On questionaing him about the rigged meter he got pretty aggressive and stopped the auto and demanded that I pay him 70 bucks which i refused.We were forced to get off the auto cause he got quite abusive.These guys need to be taken to task for cheating the passengers of their hard earned money.
A little distance away he got another innocent passenger and i was hoping i could stop them and warn them about the rigged meter.
Hope someone takes action...

Madhu..
