i travel everyday from elechanahalli metro station to santrupti nagar 7th phase j.p.nagar. Autodrivers are not willing use meter from there.Blindly they are asking 70rs for just 2.5km.Eventhough most of the auto drivers are not fixed the name badge identification in auto behind their seat.As a common man everyday cant bare the huge amount for short distance.
I travel from Garvebhavi Playa to Fortis hospital every day by auto but no auto mans r ready to pick us bcoz they r charging 100rs to 250rs but the actual meter is charged only 60rs. If I ask why it is charged so much they answer is we ll not get passenger from Garvebhavi Playa or near Fortis hospital so they charge so much or they won’t pick us to drop our destination. I request you to please take action towards this auto man and there ignorance. Many of the ppl trust and relay in auto and the service to reach the place on time or on any emergency but which is not happening….
The message no for 52225 is not working I tried to Lodge complaint against a auto richshaw ,the meter was not working properly it did not register my complaint
Dear Sir,
Today 02/01/2018 i came from Shimoga to Bangalore and i get down in Navarang theater at 4.45 am Morning and i asked for the auto to drop to Devayya Park and 2 people were asked 80 rs so i bargained for 50 rs and they refused to come so i got one more auto who is ready to come for 50 rs. i carried 6 bags from my native and my wife was with me so i kept 1 bag inside the Auto as soon as i kept the Bag the Auto guy dint stop the auto he ran away from the place with 1 bag with high speed i have started shouting but he dint stopped the auto, luckily i saw the auto registration number before i keeping the bag inside the auto so i thought to give complaint in malleshwaram police station so i stopped one more auto and kept all the bags inside and me and my wife were on the half way i saw the auto which took my Bag and i asked driver to stop the auto and i fought with him and he is giving nonsense reason that he thought we were inside the auto so he left the place, mean time many auto drivers came surrounding me and told me to leave the place forcefully. i came out from the place with my bag finally but it is luck that i saw the auto number so i got my bag otherwise it is highly impossible to chase the auto in the morning with having luggage and the family. Not sure how many people faced this issue and they are helpless in finding the asset because they might not noticed the auto Number.

Hi,
Today me and my momwas traveling from lido mall to Coles park. We hired an auto, we had luggage so auto driver asked the excess amount, and we were ready to pay. We were half way, and we asked her to take in to the land where is our house located, he refused to come and asked us to get down.
He was very adamant and had no sense if talking. He was too rude. Please take strict action against him. This auto drivers rude acts are all because of our linient rules. I couldn’t note dwn his auto number, but have taken his license display picture.

THIS BULLSHIT AUTO DRIVER IS DEMANDING HUGE CHARGES FOR A SMALL DISTANCE OF 5 KM, PLUS HE IS REFUSING TO GO TO DESTINATION AFTER TRAVELLING HALF A DISTANCE,SAYING THAT HE IS UNABLE TO FIND A DESTINATION, PLUS HE IS SPEAKING VERY RUDELY.
TAKE STRICT ACTION AGAINST HIM.IF POSSIBLE ARREST HIM
Dear Sir,
I am a guy from west Bengal who take auto for office and many other purpose I just need to know few things that is for bikes and cars why do you charge high fine were as the auto you charge so less.If you increase the fine charges to Rs.2000/- for meter overcharges and refusing for any distance. And if auto found with passenger without meter on than charge them Rs.1000/- than you will not only find revenue coming in from them but also this problem will stop.
Because what we earn is half given to auto driver and we can see old meters too but no fine for them. And if at all you can’t do anything than just don’t put it under government and make it independent so that we all know that its private and they are the boss.

Thank you so much for the wonderful information.This is really important for me.I am searching this kind of information from a long time and finally got it.
Forgot to mention that this mostly happens on the Outer Ring Road, Marathalli Bridge, and HSR Layout.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Since I’m a non-Kannada speaking fellow in Namma-Bengaluru city, I often encounter situations, wherein Auto-Rick drivers either show unwillingness to travel a shorter distance of about 3-4 kms. Mostly they dont have meters and charge randomly. Even if they are willing to come, they quote exorbitant rates like 70-80 rupees even for a small distance of 3-5 kms.
What are my options in such cases ?
Hope to hear back from you soon.
Best Regards,
Aashish V.
