The auto, the policeman and me! |

You are absolutely right, the auto problem is the worst problem in the city. I had a personal experience once when I complaint to a traffic police man about an auto charging me over the top. I thought he would walk straight to the auto driver and reprimand him, instead he told me that if I did not have enough money I could take a bus! He even suggested some bus route numbers! Now what does a common man do? I have also seen auto drivers jump red lights right under the police man's nose, how do they do that? Does the police man evoke no more fear for the auto driver?
This is the reality on streets! So I can imagine Puneet's frustration. There are too many autos on the street too.
But I like the prepaid system at the railway station with autos, that keeps them in discipline. The authorities should have govt. approved rates displayed at important points in the city so that people know what to pay. Like they have in Ooty for cabs. I wonder why rates are not being standardised? Who stands to gain?Private Reply to Devanshu Arya (new win) |
