 Ola, Uber hike auto rates; TN forms panel after HC nudge

WHILE the transport department has yet to revise autorickshaw fares as per a Madras High Court order, Ola and Uber silently increased the per-km fare from 12 to 15, and the minimum fare from 25 to 30 more than a month ago, say drivers.

These companies have promised to increase taxi charges by 10-14%, say drivers, attributing the promise to protests they staged. Unlike auto-rickshaws, fares for taxis are not determined by the government as these vehicles are operated on tourist permits and don't have contract carriage permits.

As per the government-fixed fare for auto-rickshaws — last revised on August 25, 2013—users are to pay $25 for the first 1.8 km, and 12 for each subsequent km (see infographic).
