it is not reasonable
These are rickshawwala who come to mumbai from there respective villages,have family there ,wana earn 20,000 here and carry on the legacy of looting ppl. I guess increasing the fare of rickshaw is unfair and m sure there will be a day when we will all switch to cycles , more clean and green way to travel than just wasting our our money on things not worth.
Time to discard autorickshaw and move to new and cheaper mode of transport. Govt should understand the plight of the common people and take immediate action on this.
Some taxi drives had the Rs. 17 meter and yet they took more money by saying that its Rs. 16 meter. When the taxi drivers were asked to verify they started ugly fights and abusing. They are taking full undue advantage and are not at all sorry for therr rash behaviour.

Everything is so expensive. How can a person travel. We need a new and cheaper travel method.
I doubt any rickshaw or taxi driver is going to recalibrate his meter. Time to seriously consider buying a bike or car.
