Auto Rikshaw
Driver Over charged the fare

Hi,

This incident happend in Majiwada, Thane (west). I took an auto from Charai Naka to Majiwada yesterday evening.

The meter showed the number count as 1.70. As per the rate card the driver is supposed to charge Rs.15.50. I gave him rs.20 and said that its Rs.16. But he just handed me Rs.2 and said its 18. At this point of time I got furious and asked him to show me the fare rate card which he did not show up. He still maintained that the charge is 18 only and inspite of a heated argument he did not give me Rs.4.

It has become a general practise to charge 50p extra. This is still fine. But charging Rs.2 extra is not at all acceptable. He said you people earn so much what happens if you leave Rs.2/- and so on. He just drove away.

But I have made a note of the Rikshaw number. The number is MH04-V4821. I tried calling the Mumbai Auto Rikshaw complaint numbers 02227650701/2, 9969854555, but no one answered the call.

Its not a matter of Rs.2 extra but its a matter of this GUNDAGARDI which Auto drivers have got used to in Thane. I hope this issue is forwarded to Traffic police and an action be taken against him.

As a responsible citizen I have made a a note of this number and will refrain from boarding the auto bearing this number. This will teach him a lesson for life and rest I leave to the Police.

Thanks

Now its your call, as to how are you going to deal with this issue and the driver.
