According to the department’s notice, ride-hailing companies have to stop their auto services at the earliest and also not to charge passengers in taxis more than the fare prescribed by the government. The department also warned of legal action if they fail to comply with the order.

Why ban.. let market forces decide the optimum fare.
Ola charges Rs 120 for 1 .5 Km from my home to metro. And the same cost for 10 Kms. I had thought Ola, Uber always charged meter rates, totally false. In a way good decision.
However, what about auto drivers? Bangalore auto drivers have forgotten the fact that there is meter in their auto.
I am not sure but is Mumbai only city in India where autos ply based on meter?
even HR wont reject so much ...
Apart from that Mumbai Autowalas is good...always on meter
A positive thing i noticed, whenever i am at railway station/bus stop trying to book auto to reach home in early morning, these autowalas gang up and beg to give them rates same as what is displayed on the ola/uber app. Before ola/uber era they used to charge whatever they felt like.
for long distance ola and uber is best and for short local auto is best.. Now these ola uber guys are coming only if we select payment in cash mode. if not they will cancel the trip.. nothing will change if they cancel or not cancel.. Officers will become quite once they get suitcase thats it
I generally have had good experiences with Auto in B'lore compared to chennai. It was few years back (5+) but Autos in B'lore used to be much cheaper and genuine than Chennai..
Good. Either same rules for all or none. ₹100 minimum charge is ridiculous. But that’s just my opinion.
