Uber Auto situation going out of hand (advice from an auto driver)

I usually drive to work but had to take an auto today, in the morning 8am it cost me ₹135 to go from Rajajinagar to MG Road approx 9.7 Km.

While I booked a return it showed me ₹365! I thought wtf and a couple of colleagues mentioned that paying double or more in the evenings is a usual thing and that I should be lucky to even get one.

When the auto arrived it was someone who’s from around my neighbourhood and he was like sir why are accepting rides for such high prices???? I was like….. don’t you get all the money directly cause the app says the entire amount is commission free and fully for the driver.

He did accept that it is true but as a long term honest auto driver felt it’s wrong to be charged more than double, the maximum even he would charge is one and half, never more than double.

He said that uber is inflating the prices so more autodrivers are accepting uber rides cause they know they will get better fares on uber. This is spoiling the market cause now an auto driver knows the amount he’s being offered on uber is ₹365 for a ₹135 ride, and seeing this the greedy drivers will further ask for the same fares on road or or wait for more tips on other apps. ?

Well he did turn on the meter to prove his point too and it came upto ₹145

He specifically asked to complain it to uber and rightfully asked me to ask for an invoice to see under what excuse am I being charged ₹365 anddd when I tried to generate an invoice after the trip, I am not able to!!!

So if give faced the same, start reporting this!!!! Start asking uber for explanations why they are overcharging!!!!

I really need to know what is the reason uber gives for overcharging and looking for any suggestions here to force / report this

Ps. I know this community hates auto drivers (I’ve seen the stories and faced them too so completely accept it) but yes there are a few good ones in there too, especially your area boys ?
