What is Easy Auto?
Do you use Auto rickshaw for your day-to-day commuting? |
· Then you must be wasting an average of 20 to 30 minutes on the road trying to get a willing auto to take you in. REFUSAL!! This is a major challenge that an auto rickshaw passenger faces everyday. This is not only a challenge for you, this is a issue for the law enforcement agencies as well. |
· “Double meter and one-and-a-half meter” are the other challenges that we face in our daily commuting. Despite a reduced fuel cost, the auto wallahs refuse to ply to a destination that we need to go to many a times unless we comply to give them “extra” on the meter charges. This “extra” is almost always either one-and-a-half times the meter fare or twice the meter fare. |
|
Haven’t we cursed the auto drivers for refusals, rude behaviour and over charging? But have we ever tried to understand why we ever face such issues? Have we tried to find a solution for this problem? |

Easy Auto Service is a call-auto service that is an initiative of the Bangalore City Police and the Regional Transport Authority of Karnataka. By establishing a call-center that co-ordinates the passenger and auto finding, at Easy Auto it is our vision and commitment to make your auto-commuting a pleasant experience. |
|
At Easy Auto we feel that this is the beginning of a social change, especially because this is a thought process of none other than the Traffic Chief of Bangalore City Police, Mr.M N Reddi. The scheme has been authorized and approved by the Government of Karnataka. |
|
We are working with the authorities to make this happen. Of course, like us, YOU – the Auto rickshaw users also will play a major role in making this happen. For more details Visit: www.easyauto.in |
