My complaint is against auto driver of KA 05 B 7193.
On 19-08 i hired this auto for travelling from Jaydeva hospital to BTM 2 nd stage (1.5 kms), for which the driver demanded 20 rs (which is 6 rs extra fare). I agreed on the fare and when we reached the destination he demanded 30 rs, shouting that he had asked for 30 rs and not 20.
I was travelling alone and when i told him i will be taking up this matter with the police, he said complain to whoever you want, i do not care.
I was appalled at the behaviour of this auto driver and i urge the police to take action against him.
I travel everyday morning on this route and the auto drivers everywhere have become a menace, so much so that i have started taking bus for which i have to walk a few kms extra.
I am sure i am not the only one who has been cheated out of money this way by this particular auto driver.
In general all auto driver seem to have adopted these tricks
1) demand excess fare2) tamper the meter3) cheating by telling i had asked for more fare (as above) 4) acting to start the meter, whereas the meter would have been running from before we got in (i realised this when i got in to an auto, the driver did a good act of turning the meter, but within a few seconds it had crossed the min distance fare.)
I also want to question the decision why license display which was mandatory earlier has now been removed? Is there a rationale behind it or is it just bucking under auto mafia.
