chennai auto fares have been revised. auto fares have been due for a revision for a long time as oil prices climbed but fares got stuck.

using this no-revision for many years, many auto drivers ran with no meters or hiked fare meters, fleecing of customers leading to an unhealthy situation between the customer and auto drivers.

the fare hike hopefully will bring auto drivers to stick to the fares, because it is in their benefit to have happy and affordable customers.

but did the tamilnadu govt also miss another trick,a big one at that. why is the govt not announcing any plans for CNG of auto's in chennai.

auto's in chennai is a major source of pollution and many other places like delhi, bangalore have been slowly but steadily moving to CNG.

because when it comes to our cities, development should not be measured by wealth alone, but also in health of its citizens especially vulnerable young children who are directly impacted by pollution.

below are the images in a CNG station in bangalore. although bangalore has CNG, govt has to step up and increase the number of stations, awareness and patronage making sure all auto's, govt buses, etc run on the cleaner CNG.
