I travelled by an auto today at 11:30 am from Juhu Koliwada to Gulmohur Road No 12 and the taxi fare came to Rs 24 (Rs 2 on the meter). I returned from Gulmohur road back to Juhu Koliwada by auto Number MH 02 UA 4173 at about 12:30 pm and for the same distance, the fare came to Rs 34 (ie Rs 2.80 on the meter). I complained to the rickshaw driver but he refused to accept the fact that his meter was tampered with. Hence I had to shell out Rs 34 as per the meter. It was quite apparent from the expression of the rickshaw driver that he had tampered with the meter but since I had no other recourse, I am lodging the complaint on this site with a request to the authotrities to take stern action against the concerned auto driver so that at least in future, the passengers are not cheated.
