To keep it professional per se, an initiative has been taken to provide Uniforms to the auto drivers with the logo of Autorickshaw Chalak Mahasangh. Not just this, since it becomes quite difficult for the customers to deal with actual travel amounts, customers can also go on an auto ride with the meter.
Customers will also experience polite behaviour from the auto drivers in the city and to ensure that this initiative turns to be a successful venture, special trainings have been imparted to auto drivers on behaviour and traffic norms.
As an experiment, in collaboration with traffic police, auto drivers have been directed to wear uniforms having a logo, run by meter and behave politely with the customers.
As a part of the initiative, a selected group of 450 auto drivers will be seen in uniforms with the logo of the association and they will go by meter. Initially, the auto drivers will mainly be seen plying on Adarsh Marg from Palasia to Regal Bridge.
In addition to this, a dedicated tailor has also been assigned to stitch uniforms for the auto drivers. In case if any member is caught violating the norms, the association will not stand by their side.
Furthermore, the association had convened multiple meetings with its members to convince them not to engage in an altercation with passengers and refuse to wait or halt. It is to be noted that as many as 22,000 auto drivers are members of the association.
The authorities are now focusing on sessions and special training for drivers to make them understand the importance of traffic norms and bring behavioral change in them whilst dealing with customers.
It is said to be the first phase of collaborative work where the focus is on creating awareness on Adarsh Marg. Once this is done, they will extend it towards Vijay Nagar. Public transport will also be promoted to have a smooth traffic movement.
We are eager to see such a uniform progressive move in the cleanest city of India!
As Indore is on a mission of making Indore Cleaner and Greener, one such movement in the mission is of “E-Rickshaws”. Read our blog NOW TAKE E-RICKSHAWS TO COMPLETE YOUR TRIP AFTER THE BRTS ROUTE.
