Pre-Paid Taxi/Auto Facility at Railway Stations
..................
The pre-paid taxi/auto booths are being run at the stations by the state traffic police on fixed rates prescribed by Municipal Corporation of the city.

The provision of pre-paid counters at the stations depends upon importance of the station, space availability etc. The responsibility for setting up of pre-paid taxi booths lies with the State Government. Instructions already exist with the Zonal Railways to co-ordinate with the local civil authorities for arrangement of pre-paid taxi and three wheeler services at all A-1 category stations and also to ensure that traffic police officials properly supervise and regulate its implementation.

This information was given by the Minister of State for Railways Shri Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury in written reply to a question in Lok Sabha today.
