Yesterday, i.e. 3rd June, 2011 my bike stopped at the middle of the road due to heavy rain, while i was driving back home from office in the evening. I parked it at a safe place and thought of taking an Auto Rickshaw to go back home. This Auto Rickshaw picked me from Pashan Road on the condition that i have to pay 20 Rs. extra over the meter, i had no choice and had to agree as i was waiting for a rickshaw from past 1 hr without cell phone and wallet. When i reached bavdhan, i realized something wrong is there with the Meter, it was moving very fast. From Aditya Shagun, Bavdhan to Chandni Chowk, the reading iincreased by 3 kms. I frustatedly told him that i will not pay him this much and will also complain against him. He tried to negotiate over the charges and told me it was just by mistake meter ran fast. But when i did not agree he did not return back the remaining amount from the 100rs note that i gave him. And told me that since you are already complaining then let me charge the full amount.
His vehicle no. is MH12, FA, 4100
I request to please check his meter so that others cant be fooled.
In India, the people have adopted this mindset that nothing can be done against them and no complaint is taken seriously. That is why people dont have the fear for the Law. But with some hope i am writing this complain.

Thanks

Today, when i was waiting for an auto at Banjara hills, an auto by number AP28Y4595 stopped and asked me where i need to go, and surprisingly this auto had no meter and there were 2 persons posing as drivers. For the distance of around 4.7 kms which would actually charge about Rs.35/- they were demanding Rs.70/- at 9:40AM.
When i asked them why they had no meter and why they were demanding somuch, one of the person posing as a driver started talking very rudely and was saying that they will even demand Rs.150/- and he was also asking me to note the number and do what i can.

The concerned officials, please take action on such auto drivers, because of whom travelling in autos has become a night mare for almost all the people who commute daily by autos.
Alteast provide with a particular dedicated phone line thru which the commuters can complain immediately when the auto drivers behave such way which will create a fear among them and there rudeness will be controlled atleast to certain extent.

Hi,

I traveled from Swargate (bypass) to Baner Road. The meter started off with 10 Kms reading. And when asked about it, he said that the meter always starts with 10 kms. Now the end reading was 32 Kms, which I am sure is not the correct distance between Swargate and Baner. Finally, he showed some very old Meter Rating card and charged me Rs. 400/- at morning 6 a.m saying its 1.5 times meter charge.
The rickshaw number is MH 12 Q 4383.

Please take the necessary action.

Thanks,
