Happy Auto Android App Reviews AutoRickshaw Drivers - Launched By Bangalore City Police
Coming to the 'Sugama Savari' initiative, the campaign was launched by Kannada actor Sudeep at an event in Cubbon Park on Wednesday morning. This campaign is a response generated by the Bangalore City Police following several complaints of harassment by auto drivers demanding excess fare or refusing to go to certain destinations. Police Commissioner Raghavendra H Auradkar said auto drivers were important representatives of the city. "It is the responsibility of drivers to ensure passengers reach their destinations safely. Drivers should take special care to ensure the safety of women travelling alone,'' he said. "Anything that is uploaded for or against any auto will be automatically linked to the city traffic police server. We'd like rate the individual's performance and behaviour to laud their good services. At the same time, we'll book cases if we find them committing offences. The software, developed by an entrepreneur, is designed for this," said additional commissioner of police (traffic) B Dayanand.




As you can see from the Happy Auto app's screenshots above, you can rate any auto driver by authenticating your number and a verification code. The app lets you give the positive or negative rating to the auto drivers based on their license number. The police department also plans to felicitate the best auto driver of the month based on the feedback. In another move to improve the auto rickshaw service in the city, Bangalore based social enterprise, India Drivers Network had launched mGaadi, a call auto service, back in November this year.
So, how do you like the idea of having an app for rating the auto drives. Share your thoughts about the Sugama Savari campaign and the Happy Auto app in comments below.
