Dial-an-auto service, which comes with a GPS navigation system, has been launched in Chandigarh. This service has been launched with an aim to provide quick and hassle-free auto services which will charge the people in a reasonable way.
Tuk Tuk, as they are known, are neat moor rickshaws, which have been coloured in pink. Currently the fleet of dial-an-auto-rickshaw has just 10 members, which also includes two lady drivers. This is the first-ever time that Chandigarh is getting lady auto drivers.
Women passengers, who feel safer travelling with lady drivers, are in praises for these services.
"Chandigarh is one city where people are safe anyway. We have been told we are safe with the service," said Alka Thapar, a lady auto driver.
People need to dial 4242424f for availing this service. The passengers will be charged only according to the meters, which are free of tampering.
"We maintain our call centre. Whenever any individual requires an auto, he rings up and the call centre picks up the call. They record the call and then convey to the driver by selecting the vehicle nearby to pick up the customer. That's the procedure and customer has to pay from the pickup point to the drive point only," said VS Dhillon, Managing Director of the Tuk Tuk Auto Rickshaw Company.
The service aims at providing a quick, reliable and safe journey to people who can relax and sit back without the fear of getting cheated by drivers.
"I'm using it for the first time It's reasonably priced and I'm really liking it," says Charanjit, a customer.
