This is one of the biggest menace in Hyderabad and no one does anything about it.

Today, I was travelling from Himayat Nagar AV Collgege, Hitech City area by auto number AP11 Y 5052. This was in the Afternoon.

I ensured that the auto driver reset the meter. After travelling half the distance, I noticed that the auto fare was showing higher than the amount it normally shows. On reaching my destination, The meter reading was Rs. 153.5, which is about 30 rupees higher than the normal fare.

I travel this route frequently and almost everyday, and the auto fare is Rs. 120 - 125 maximum.

This is a clear case of meter tampering, and what was more surprising was that the auto has a digital meter. I thought it would be pointless arguing with the auto driver since all the auto drivers in Hyderabad are extremely corrupt and rude.

I request the Hyderabad Traffic Police to cancel the auto driver's license and fine him an exorbitant amount. I am still not sure if the Hyderabad Traffic Police would take action or not.
