Any idea why has it failed. I have few ideas which might be a few major contributing factor
- Chennai Auto drivers have used to the fact of returning back to their base auto stand. This is the prime factor. In Mumbai, Bangalore and in other places, we do not have such "base auto stand" concept. Auto drivers just keep driving on and on and on... till their shift closure hours.
- Chennai Auto drivers are used to the concept of "work less earn more". They want to just be in the stand, talk, chit chat with like minded friends and want to earn their days earning from the one of two passengers who get caught.
- These "base auto stand" concept not only corrupts their auto drivers, but also prevents other auto drivers from adhering to law. The drivers in "base auto stand" do not allow other line autos to park in them. So, those auto drivers who want to just ride on and on as per passenger request will find it difficult to park there for passenger. Hence, over a period of time, those honest drivers are also forced to fall back to the policy of the notorious majority and amalgamate into the auto mafia.
Government will only establish and frame rules. It is only left to the public to follow it and ensure that others follow it. The final fault lies only with the public for not being able to come together and voice out against this.
Least that can be done:
- Eliminate base auto stand concept.
- Any auto driver can park his vehicle in auto stand
- Passenger should have the right to sit inside the auto tell the destination and auto driver is expected to only turn on the vehicle, turn on the meter and transfer the passenger.
