Meter Pe Biis Rupeya
Are you from outside the so called hip hop city. Or you don't have a Vehicles to commute, Which transport you prefer most if you are in Bangalore. For me it was 'Auto rickshaw'. Ya that's right It was.
I remember long back when I went to Chennai, I hired an auto to go some where, Believe me if I hate some public service then it would be the autowalas. He promptly guessed I am outsider he didn't even talk in Hindi or English even if I was sure he knows Hindi. He said it will be 120 bucks. I said it should be around 5 km from here how it could it be 120!!??? But he didn't listen. I asked other Auto rickshaw also all were same even one of them started arguing with me with out any reason . Geeeez I hate them. Then I had to pay 125 bucks to reach to destination. I was thinking thanks god I am leaving at Bangalore.
But today I want to correct what I thought there. Now from past 3 months I haven't sit in a auto who's meter is fare or who actually charge on meter. No matter where you go they will fix up a price which mostly will be equal to 1.5 times of the fair. And think if the meter is unfair then with will be the charge. If they won't fix the price they will ask 'Meter pe Bis rupeya' 20 bucks extra on the meter fair).
1 n 1\\2 on meter rule say it should be after 10pm. But today autowalas ask from evening morning, afternoon any time they want or else they won't go. Many of them abuse and put a fight with customer if customer will ask for fare charge. (Not to be mentioned I got in to this kindda situation many times)
What you can do if you really need a auto to get there. You will pay the charge defiantly even if you don't want to.
Is there any solution for this or It will remain same for ever.
