Taxis in India – Safety Tips During Taxi and Auto Rides

A major mode of local transportation in India is covered by auto rickshaws or taxis. They are economical and can get you to your destination as quickly as possible. The everyday masses use auto rickshaws and taxis and they play an integral role in the transportation system.

Auto rickshaws can be found all over the country but taxis are limited to the metros. While traveling by taxis in India, there are a number of safety measures that you should follow.

Checking the Number Plate of the Vehicle

It is very important to note down the number of the taxi or auto before getting into one. You should also make sure that the vehicle is authorized to drive around the city. Most
auto rickshaws in India
are registered but there could be a few exceptions.

Go by the Meter

Drivers tend to hike up the prices every now and then, so don’t go by what they say. Ensure that they are following the meter and make sure that the meter hasn’t been tampered with.

It is a rule that all auto rickshaws in India have to follow the meter and they cannot refuse any passenger a ride. If they do refuse, you can lodge a complaint in the nearby police station. While getting into the vehicle make sure that the meter starts from zero.

Always Stay Alert

It is your duty to take up your safety in your own hands, so you’ll have to be vigilant throughout the ride. Do not fall asleep as auto rickshaws and taxis in India cannot be trusted. It is advisable to keep the toll free helpline number saved on your phone in case of an emergency. Always sit in the backseat to ensure your personal safety.

Travel According to the Time

Try to use auto rickshaws in India before its gets too dark and while there is still daylight. It is better to use the local
taxis in India
rather than the private ones because the government appoints trusted drivers. It is safer to always use a pre-paid taxi so that the payment is dealt with beforehand. If you’re a tourist it is advised to hire a taxi from the hotel that you’re staying in.

India is a beautiful country with many exquisite places to see, but it is up to you to stay safe, wherever you go. Make sure that you learn to speak the local language (at least some phrases).

Klement returned his bicycle to the manufacturers, Seidel and Naumann, with a letter, in Czech, asking for them to carry out repairs, only to receive a reply, in German, stating: If you would like an answer to your inquiry, you should try writing in a language we can understand. A disgusted Klement, despite not having technical experience, decided to start a bicycle repair shop, which he and Vclav Laurin opened in 1895 in Mlad Boleslav. Before going into business partnership with Klement, Laurin was an already established bicycle manufacturer from the nearby town of Turnov.
