Once Auto-Rickshaws Used to have Meters.The Meter had several Features and It Was used to show Distance Covered,there were estimated Fare for Per Km Travel and based on it the meter would show the Fare .The Rates of Per Km Fare Gets Revised Periodically and the last revised fare was 14 Rs Per Km in 2007, according to my knowledge But The Meters Have got reduced in number time to time.
Yes!!Even These Days You Would Find Meters In Autos ,But Do They Really Follow The Guidelines ?? How Many of us Can Find a Meter Maintained in a Proper Condition ? Or Working?? Meters are Found In some , Just for Name Sake..
These Days The Drivers have their own Fare .In Some Auto's You Travel from one place to Another, You Would Find Wallet Empty on the Other Hand There are few who have a Acceptable fare..Why This difference? The A And B Here Travel to same Place,Same Route , But Imagine, A is Charged 100 rs whereas B charged 70 rs... Now Who Is Right or Wrong ??? But Imagine whatif they had Meter, Both A and B Would have been Charged The Same..
I m not Saying its Wrong, But Mostly Middle Class People Travel In Auto-Rickshaw and they have to manage the expenses , they have their own budgets and they cant afford more for their Transportation , And Noone Wants to Spend too much of their money on transportation ..Yes, Even Auto Rickshaw Drivers's Income Depends on it, But When you Charge Which they can afford, you will get lots of Passengers.. Its Always Good to Charge Normal , Rather than asking too much and Missing the Passengers..
According to Times of India, Meters have been Missing /Decreasing Since 1998 in Chennai .. So Their Initiative is to Bring Back the Meter System Again In Auto-Rickshaw and Yes,By This Both Public and Auto-Rickshaw Drivers would be benefited..So The Initiative is a Eye-Opener for everyone and Lets Join for this Initiative for the betterment of the Society ...
Now Public has been Requested for Fare Charge For Per Km By The Concerned Department and If It Matches Their Fare Rates, It is said to be Announced soon ...Meter's Missing??? A Times Of India Initiative
