TukTuk Meter: Save yourself from being overcharged

It is often seen in the metro cities of India, that you get an auto rickshaw or a cab to reach an unknown destination and you get exploited by a round-about trip by your rickshaw-wala just to overcharge you. Sometimes the tuktuk’s meter may be tampered to deceive you into paying more.. This does happen. But now with this new Tuk Tuk Meter, an application for your android/symbian/blackberry smartphone, you can save yourself some extra bucks.

Mindhelix Technologies has brought this new interesting app, called Tuk Tuk Meter which uses GPS to give you the route you’re being taken by. All you need to do is when you get on the auto, you have to press start. The Tuk Tuk Meter will start monitoring the route and display you the same. Once you reach the destination you can just stop it.

The Tuk Tuk meter will give you a summary on the route, distance and time. It also allows user to feed in the local fare charges. Once you set it, the application will also show you the fare of your total journey. This is similar to having your own meter while you board an auto rickshaw or cab.

Tuk Tuk meter is available free and can be downloaded from their website. The following snapshots will pretty much summarize the whole concept.












Hope this application just doesn’t die as like the previous ones that came in the market.
