[Resolved]  Auto Rickshaw — Tampered Meter

Richshaw Meter tampering — Rickshaw meter tampering

Travelled in MH02 X2667.97 (autorickshaw) this morning around 6.45am from Andheri station east to Hiranandani, Ventura and had to pay a hefty sum of Rs. 90, meter reading 70. Reached Hiranandani via Seepz without any stops for signals, traffic etc. Reached destination at 7:00am.
Does meter jam have any effect? When I refused to pay the entire sum and informed the driver that it comes to around 53-60 per the meter reading, he taunts that he has increased the meter speed just for me while he decreases it for others. This hasn't been a one time experience. Forced to log this complaint as I'm sick of paying extra unnecessarily and I'm super sick of being fleeced by rickshaw meters.

Dear Sir,

This is to bring to your notice about the concerns a lot of people are facing in Mumbai i.e. the tampered meter in rickshaws and taxi.

We all understand that there has been a unreasonable hike in transportation fare, however even after that we see a lot of rickshaws who have tampered meters and end up paying 20% more than the actual fare.

I was in a rickshaw (Rickshaw no MH - 03 - AK - 7449) from Sakinaka to Andheri east station which usually cost Rs 50 without traffic and Rs 60 maximum in traffic. The meter reading was so fast that the rickshaw driver asked me to pay Rs. 80. We request you to please take corrective actions against such rickshaw driver who force us tp pay such huge amount.

Looking forward for some positive response and hope to see genuine meter readings going forward..

Thank you.

This is to complain about the autorickshaws plying in the Marol, Andheri(East) area. I am a senior citizen and daily traveller. Since, I travel on a fixed route, I have observed the autorickshaw meters show incorrect tariff. I request the RTO to take strict action. Thank-you.

Recently I took an auto from Green Park to Dwarka. For a journey that usually costs me around Rs.132 to 135, the meter reading came out to be Rs.182. The rickshaw driver refused to acknowledge that the meter had been tampered with and instead misbehaved.
Auto no.- DLIR L4818
Kindly look into the matter and take the required measures.

Complaint on faulty meter. I usually pay around Rs. 30 from Vasant Lawns to Teen Haath Naka. But today the rickshaw meter was too fast and rigged. He charged me 35/- even though he didnt have to wait long at the signals. He was trying to break the signal at Cadbury when a cop saw him he just took a sudden U turn. The number is MH04 - AE4912
