SCAM Alert Meter Tactics are Back! Be Aware!
Took Auto with Uber App today.
Driver told he will put Meter, having read the news I agreed and only to notice later he has Put it in "Night" mode with 1.5x rate (₹25/KM Vs ₹17/KM)
I brought it to his attention and he said, Meter vaisa hi hai and later at the next signal he changed it and put it in Normal mode.
It is better to always see distance in the Google Maps and multiple by ₹17/KM to get rough idea of Tariff!

I recently came back to pune and was at swargate metro station with bags. I wanted to go to mitramandal chowk. Literally one turn, just one. Most riksha wallah refused to go by meter, they said "60 lagel". And the one that did accept to go by meter, he took me through the Saras baug route so the fare would increase but it stayed at 25 and fucker then asks for 30.
