On 18 october 2017, the driver of autorikshaw with rto registration number mh 12 ch 6212 was waiting in his autorikshaw at/ around 01.25 pm in front of the gate of mai mangeshkar hospital, warje, pune. I asked him if he was available to carry me. The rikshaw driver asked me what was my drop point. When i told him that my drop location would be 'ambar hall, near desai bandhu ambewale on karve road', the driver told me that "i would have to pay rs. 250- (Rs. Two hundred fifty) as fare. When i insisted that i would pay by meter, he started misbehaving and arrogantly shouting that he would not charge as per meter and that i would have to pay rs. 250- on my refusal to accept his demand, he angrily started autorikshaw and left speedily. After this i hired another autorikshaw from the same place for 'ambar hall' drop and paid rs. 53- fare as per meter.
While it is common for autorikshaw drivers in pune to ask for rs. 10- to 20- over and above the fare payable by meter, this type of arrogance of asking for an excess fare of about rs. 200- for a short distance and that too during daytime in the afternoon is unusual. I as a senior citizen request the rto authorities, pune to initiate proper action against the autorikshaw driver as per rules.
