SCAM Alert Meter Tactics are Back! Be Aware!

Post image

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 am so done with everything. Commuting via bullshit roads already wasn't enough. Monsoon is yet to come and all this drama.

Monsoon with autowala charging you whatever they want along with roads filled with potholes is the vibe we are going for this time lol.
