Hey there, folks! Ever felt like your auto-rickshaw bill is soaring higher than a rocket ship? Well, Mumbai Traffic Police is here to help you out with a nifty guide on identifying faulty auto-rickshaw meters.
According to a recent video shared by the Pune Pulse, the scam involves a sneaky hidden button behind the rickshaw’s handle that speeds up the fare calculation on the meter. When activated, a small blinking dot appears next to the fare amount, signaling manipulation. Sneaky, right?
To combat this, the video advises passengers to keep an eye out for the blinking dot and report any fishy business to the nearest RTO office, along with the rickshaw’s number. Stay alert, folks!
Mumbai Traffic Police has also issued a stern warning to drivers, stating that legal actions such as FIRs and vehicle seizures will be taken against those caught tampering with meters. They’ve even touched upon the idea of switching to app-based meters like Ola and Uber for more transparency.
So, next time you hop into an auto-rickshaw, remember to watch out for that sneaky blinking dot and stay aware. And as the Mumbai Traffic Police rightly says, “Be Aware!” Stay safe out there, folks!
