[Resolved]  RTO Mumbai — auto fare

Taxi at Inorbit - Malad — Demand for extra money

Yesterday I had a bad experience with a taxi wala. I was with my family at Inorbit Malad and asked a cabbie for Borivali.
He demanded meter charge plus Rs. 100 extra. I said I would complain, he said do it and nothing will happen.

I took taxi number as MMQ 2615.

Please inform what should one do in such situation? These taxi drivers should be booked for such misbehaviour.

ON 9/4/09 AT 9.30 PM AUTO MH 03 AA 4207 FROM ANDHERI RLY STATION THOUGHTHE METER FLAG WAS UP REFUSED TO PLY TO AMBOLI.
NECESSARY ACTION TO BE TAKEN

Hi,
I am a regular traveller by auto from Andheri MIDC to Bandra Reclamation (near Lilavati Hospital).
Around 85% of autos have faulty meter. Today, I took auto from Kherwadi to Andheri MIDC. The normal charges is around Rs 53/-. In between the route, I objected to fast meter to which the driver told me that you can pay your normal fare.
On reaching destination, the auto rick meter shows whopping Rs 90/-. When I offerred him Rs 65/- (inspite the normal charges is Rs 53/-), he made so much noise..
You can understand the kind of embarrasment when the driver made hungama in front of my office. Few of my office managers were also standing.

I request you to please take strict action as these ppl try to bully us and many a times pass bad comments on us.

Thanks and regards,
Indira

Hi,
I travel in auto from dahisar ashokvan to Parle near parleshwar temple usually auto fare is 110 or 120. Today i took auto from borivali station and there was no traffic on highway when i reached parle i was shocked with the meter reading it was showing 170 rs i was surprised by the autofare i took his his batch no 21934 and auto no MH02-RA 2224 I thik RTO should take a serious action and check meter reading of autos standing on borivali station and they should check their meter because they cheat people coming from native places they dont take small distance fare. They cheat people travelling in long distance please take action against them so that they cant cheat common pleople.

Thank you

We are facing same problem of this fast meter and the not acceptance of short fare.Almost 80% of Autorickshaw in Sion & Chembur are running with fast meter.I daily take my daughter to school by Auto;even though the traffic is clear the Auto fares varies with different Rickshaw for different days. Please take the appropriate action.


Thanking You,

Kavita Mhatre.

It is impossible to get Richshaw from Sion to Bandra any time during day without traffic police intervention. Deterrent action by police on those who initially refuse to ply is required.

Hi,
If you take an auto from Garam masala stop airoli to airoli station or mind space IT park, Auto will charge you minimum 25 rs. Auto's don't want to go by meter because it will charge hardly 15 rs and if you will ask them to on meter they are always ready to fight. I hope police will pay attention on this one day.

This has been observed though most of the Rickshaw meters are faulty, rigged its usually those with MH 03 registrations are commonly found to be way to fast. I have been regularly travelling to my workplace from Vileparle east to Goregaon east (HUB) the distance is around 7.5 km and not more and the fare is around Rs. 45. However most of the ricks go beyond Rs. 50 and at times these have touched Rs. 60.

Now that the fare has gone up, have RTOs ensured that meters of these Rickshaws have been checked and corrected?

FROM GOREGAON EAST RLY STATION AND VICE VERSA NO AUTOS ARE READY TO GO TO DINDOSHI AND WAGHESHWARI TEMPLE. ALL ARE RUDE IN THIER BEHAVIOUR AND 90% OF THE AUTOS ARE TAMPERED WITH FOR EXCESS FARES.

HI,
Dear RTO Officer

I travel in auto from Borivali West, Babhai Naka to Dahisar Pool usually auto fare is 25 to 28110 Today i took auto from Babhai Naka and there was no traffic when i reached at Dahisar Pool I was shocked with the meter reading it was showing 41 Rupees I was surprised by the auto fare I took hi Auto No.MH-02-TA 8526 I think RTO should take a serious action and ckeck meter reading and they cheat people travelling in long distance please take action against them so that they can't cheat common people.

Dear RTO Officer,

I have traveled in the auto today 10 mins ago in the auto no MH 03 AA 8646 AND ON THE FRONT SCREEN NO:95 E 8073 .
I normally travel this distance and have a meter reading of rs 25 To 27 and this autos meter read as 33.
When I asked him to come to santacruz police station he threaten drove away without taking any money and had said his license wall stolen today.

Please check the meter and rectify the same and oblige the public who has great faith on this site. I would appreciate if you let me know if action is taken.

Thanks

I am a regular traveller by auto and i can also vouch for the fact that 90% of the auto are running on fast meters with atleast a difference anywhere between Rs.5 to Rs.12 on the higher side. With the increase in auto fares this is an additional burden which the passenger has to face and why pay additional money to these cheaters? I think it is high time the electronic meters are introduced and RTO does a check on the meters of all the autos and penalise them. I think the auto union leaders instead of making a big noise for only increasing the fares should also keep the general public in mind and set right the meters which are running fast.I think it is high time the general public also orotest against these cheaters and raise their voice so that atleast some authority will notice and regulate the meters.
Thanks

Today at 12 Noon i boarded a auto MH 02 TA 1810 at Holy Family hospital Bandra me and my elderly mother 76 Years old when the driver asked us where to i told him Andheri - Chakala He said nai jane ka hai, gas nai hai etna lamba nai jane ka hai . I requested and then i told him why did he allow us to enter his auto if he didnt want to take passengers hew said mera marzi .I told him that it is hard for my mother to enter and get off since she is aged and unwell He just kept saying nai jane ka hai . I told him that i would register a complain against him with the RTO he started yelling karo jo karneka hai hum kise say darte nai.This shows that they are rude, want to defy rules and challenge them . Well we were made to get off but i took down his auto no I do hope he is pulled up by the RTO
Another complain is that ever since the price hike 90% of the auto drivers have taken advantage of the situation and have tampered with their meters my fair which used to be Rs 100/- now with the increase the fair should come to Rs 130/- but it is now coming up to Rs 150/- i feel a check should be kept on them it is the complain of every second person

the rekshaw drivers do not wan to go from andheri east, tungaparadise hotel to andheri station as it is a low fare distance. 1 traffic police should be there to help the commuters.
