I am writing here about my experience of Cheating in the Autos of Bangalore.
Last Month, I was coming from Tirupathi and I had to catch this Janashatabdi Train from Bangalore City Junction very early in the morning. Unfortunately the APSRTC Bus was Only upto Shanthinagar Bus Stand. Being unaware of Buses, we decided to go by Auto at around 4.30 AM. The Auto driver said he will charge double-of-meter Reading. Trusting the Meter we agreed him.
While the Google maps show the Distance between Shanthinagar BS and Bangalore City as 5.1
...
more...
Km, the Meter showed around 8.5KM. While the Meter reading was 92 rupees, the Autodriver charged Rs.220/- saying the Meter reading was as per Old Charges and new charges are as per the Chart which he showed us.
I believe that this is cheating. Cheating in Autos of Bangalore and Chennai was very often heard by me and this time experienced the same.
If there had been Buses, I wished I could go by them rather than spending so much on the Autos.
Writing just to create awareness among the Readers.

Thoguh based on old meter and new meter charges+ the new rates revision the fare is correct the distance mentioend can not be 8.5 kms- theres definitely a sort of round about- Shantinagar to majestic will be just around 6 kms and cant be higher
there are lot sof long distant buses that run via shantinagar which reach majestic by 4AM in morning hours including E.City Volvo services on routes in range of 340 to 365
