It seems that, for once, the transport department is quite keen to meet the 45-day deadline set by Bombay High Court to recalibrate the electronic meters of auto rickshaws and taxis in the city. Officials are expected to begin the process from August 17, after which the meters will display the revised fares approved by the high court.

The transport department has instructed auto rickshaw and taxi drivers to not charge new fares until they have recalibrated their electronic meters. File pic
