To correct the above issues, the public has started this campaign called Meter Jam where they cooperatively avoid travel by Auto Rickshaws on the planned date.

Srinivas Murthy, president, Auto Drivers’ Union, said he was unaware of ‘Meter Jam’. He said that in Bangalore, in congested areas such as Minerva circle, Majestic and Corporation circle, an auto can travel at 8 km per hour. It takes hours and so auto drivers refuse to ply to such places. When told that auto drivers refuse to ply anywhere, he admitted that there was a problem. Corrective actions that have happened
Although corrective actions have been performed, but they have not taken effect. OLA cabs had started apps where customers can book an auto using their tool where they get charged by meter basis and Rs 10 additionally. This has seen to make an improvement by a marginal part of the Auto drivers. References
