Autorickshaw
Tampered autorickshaw mete

I travel daily from Mulund (E) to High Street, Powai, in morning at 8:35-8:40 am. Generally, the fare comes to be between Rs. 60 to 65. I prefer to take an MH02 rickshaw, as I have found the MH03 rickshaw meters to be tampered on most occasions. However, recently I took MH03 AA rickshaw twice, and the meter to my surprise showed Rs 80 to 85 for the same distance! Both times the drivers said that this is the correct reading, that it touches 100 in other rickshaws. I paid Rs 75 after much heated argument. It is the harrasment and frustration at the hands of auto rickshaw drivers that causes more pain than the extra money we have to shell out. Below are the registration numbers of the ricks -

MH03 AA 2117

MH03 AA 1271

I request the authorities to take strict action against these rickshaws.

Thanks and regards,
