Mumbai Police Shares Viral Video on Identifying Faulty Auto-Rickshaw Meters: A Guide for Commuters

Are you tired of being overcharged by auto-rickshaw drivers in Mumbai? Well, the Mumbai Police has come to the rescue with a viral video that teaches commuters how to spot faulty meters and ensure they pay fair prices for their rides.

In the video, an officer explains how to identify ‘fast meters’ by looking for a small red light blinking at the far right end of the meter. He emphasizes that there should only be ONE red light after the fare amount displayed, and demonstrates how pressing a button can make the meter run faster.

The response from netizens has been mixed, with some suggesting that drivers should switch to using mobile apps for fare calculations to prevent manipulation. Others have pointed out discrepancies in the video’s instructions, questioning whether the red dot should appear only when the auto is in motion.

Overall, the video serves as a helpful tool for commuters to protect themselves from being overcharged by unscrupulous auto-rickshaw drivers. By staying informed and vigilant, passengers can ensure they are paying the correct fare for their journeys.
