AllIsWell | Pre-paid taxi service on fast-track on : August 25, 2013 - 11:58:03 AM |
The proposal for introduction of pre-paid taxi service at Cuttack railway station seems to have gained wings with the Railway authorities agreeing to fast-track infrastructure development for it.The Railways has been entrusted with the responsibility of providing parking spaces and developing taxi bays at the entry and exit points of the railway station. Ticket counters for the prepaid service would also be set up with the support of the Railways. The issue was discussed with the Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) in the High Court-appointed Traffic Management Committee meeting, chaired by Commissioner of Police Dr R P Sharma here.The committee had proposed launch of the prepaid taxi service following the success of the prepaid auto rickshaw service at the Railway station. According to the assessment made by the committee, the service would start off with around 50 taxis in the initial phase.The objective is to provide hassle-free transport service, both intra-city and outside, to the people.A substantial chunk of the passengers, who alight at Cuttack station, are from neighbouring districts like Jagatsinghpur, Dhenkanal, Kendrapara and Jajpur. The taxi service would be highly beneficial for them as they face problems in arranging onward transportation to their destinations. Along with development of infrastructure, the committee will also get down to formulating the fare structure for the taxis. The fares would be decided by the Transport department officials in consultation with the committee. |
irmafia | Railway cops to soon run autorickshaw counter at Chennai Central on : August 25, 2013 - 12:00:04 PM |
For passengers such as G. Kishore, who arrived at Chennai Central station last week and tried to book a prepaid autorickshaw to his uncle’s house in K.K. Nagar, the unavailability of the facility has caused great inconvenience.However, there might be hope ahead as the Government Railway Police (GRP) has indicated that it might operate the facility once tariffs for autorickshaws are fixed.The prepaid auto counter was closed nearly one-and-a-half months ago, owing to work on the Metro Rail project. The facility began in 2007 and catered to an average of 1,000 passengers per day. The facility was very popular with commuters looking for relatively inexpensive rides.“My uncle had advised me to take a prepaid autorickshaw so that I would not have to pay a huge sum. But I finally had to take a regular auto anyway,” said Mr. Kishore. The prepaid autorickshaws charged Rs. 30 for two kilometres and Rs. 9 for every additional kilometre, said G. Arumugam, president of the prepaid autorickshaw drivers’ association.Mr. Arumugam said that following the closure of a portion of the road for Metro Rail work, the traffic police prevented prepaid autorickshaws from waiting on the road.“Around 50 vehicles are parked on the station premises but they charge the same rates as regular autorickshaws. We have requested railways officials and the traffic police to provide us with a separate counter from where operating the prepaid facility would be easy,” he said. |
