Dear Friends,
You are in a hurry to catch the train. You pack all your stuff and frantically run out in the hope of catching an auto. You come out and see 5 autos standing at the corner. You thank God and ask them - "Majestic chaloge kya??" The Answer is "Rs 200 hoga!!". "Kya?? It just cost Rs 100 till Majestic". "Bahut rush hai sir!!". You move on to the next auto, to try your luck and surprisingly, you have the same conversation "Bahut rush hai sir!!". Finally you give up and bargain the price to Rs 170 and hope you don't miss your train.
Sounds more than familiar??
You stand on the road and keep on asking the passing autos for a ride to your destination - if it's not your day, the autos will not even bother to stop; if you're a bit lucky they might actually slow down to hear your destination's name and think for a second( i always wonder if they are calculating their net profit) and then speed away. However if you are more lucky, the auto guy might actually quote you an exorbitant price and then speed away. But if it's your extremely lucky hour of the day, you might end up getting an auto which is ready to take you to the destination at meter price.
In my six years of existence in Bengaluru, these experiences have been really instrumental in teaching me great virtues - Patience and Tolerance. But at what price??? exorbitant rates, extremely rude behavior and what not ......
After years of feeling used, i set out to find the answer for this misery - was there no government system that could bring these auto guys to justice? As a citizen, how can i express my concern?
This search took me to the Koramangala RTO office (BDA complex) and to my surprise i found that there did exist a government system which i believe 99.99% of Bengaluru is unaware of !!
The System
Note the vehicle number (KA-XX-YY-ZZZZ) and email the details to transcom@kar.nic.in. Based on the prefix XX (for example KA-01), complaint will be sent to one of the ten RTO offices in Bangalore and adjacent taluk areas.
Alternatively, one can also call these offices at the number given below based on the vehicle number prefix and directly lodge a complaint.
Vehicle Prefix (KA-XX) Bangalore location Phone number
KA-01 Koramangala 080-25533525
KA-02 Rajajinagar 080-23324104
KA-03 Indiranagar 080-25254310
KA-04 Yeshwantpur 080-23376039
KA-05 Jayanagar 080-26630989
KA-41 Gyanabharthi 080-28602833
KA-50 Yelahanka 080-28561366
KA-51 Electronic City 080-25735522
KA-52 NeelaMangala 08234-285598
KA-53 KR Puram 080-25617951
Once the complaint is received at the corresponding office, a notice is issued to the address of the vehicle's registered owner, requiring him/her to turn up at the RTO office within 7 working days. Every RTO has about 10 IMV's (Inspector of Motor Vehicles) who seize the vehicles which don't report to the RTO.
The penalty levied from the auto-waalas is rs.100 under section 200.
The various offences among others for which one can lodge a complaint
Refusal to come to destination (Any destination!!!)
Demanding excess fare
Using rough language
Cheat the public, for e.g. taking longer routes.
Faulty Meter
There is also a helpline number - 080-22353785 available Monday – Saturday from 10:00 am - 5:30 pm on which one can call to lodge complaints.
The numbers speak for itself
I was shocked when I found that the Koramangala RTO office received only 5 complaints a month. With over 1,00,000 autos plying on Bangalore roads, shouldn't it be like 5 complaints a minute?
So, will our impatience always have to take a backseat? Can something be done to improve/compliment the system to make it more effective? Will we get a better platform to raise our voices democratically?

Hi,
I came across this unique search engine (http://www.90di.com) which can show train, flight and train+flight options between any pair of cities. In trains, it can show break/connecting journeys as well. It shows the total travel time and cost on the results page itself. And, its quite fast. Its made for travel within India by an Indian start-up. Give it a try.

ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Dr Shawn Wagner who
worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the
year 2005.We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a
brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born
again Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child
outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was
alive he deposited the sum of 18Million Dollars eighteen Million United State
Dollars with one finance/security Company in Europe
Presently this money is still with the Security Company. Recently my Doctor told
me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer problem. Though
what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided
to donate this Fund to church or better still a Christian individual that will
utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want a church that
will use this fund to fund churches orphanages and widows propagating the word
of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained.
The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth I took this
decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my
husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's hard earned
money to be misused by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money
will be used in an ungodly manner.
Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I
know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord.
Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.
I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health and
because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want
them to know about this development.
With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give
you the contact of the Finance/Security Company in Europe I will also issue you
a letter of authority that will prove you as the original- beneficiary of this
Fund.. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my
shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever
that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always
be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in
sourcing for a church or Christian individual for this same purpose. Please
assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Hoping to hearing from you soon.
I have set aside 20% for you and for your time and 10% for any expenses if there
is any.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ
Mrs. Patricia Wagner
