Meter Jam Day in Mumbai - 12th August 2010
Recently auto and taxi fares have increased.
One strange phenomenon was noticed by me. The metre readings shown by many autos for the distance travelled by me many days regularly has increased. While in earlier days, it was around 5.0 in many days recently this number has gone up to 5.50 and above. What is the reason? The increase in fares led to more rigging of meters. Any body complaining? Any body listening? Many of the unions of autos and taxis are controlled by political leaders. There is hafta collection from these drivers. The hafta collection from drivers is mentioned by leading persons on big platforms in India.
A group of young people have come forward to protest against this present practices in auto and taxi trade.
A call for METER JAM is given. Don't use these vehicles for a day and show your protest.
