This year has seen two revisions of the auto fares in Bombay. This added a new layer of complication to creating a revised version with the updated fares. Some rickshaws had by this time converted to the digital meter with the previous revision, so this meant that there would in fact be two sets of fare cards, one for the regular old mechanical ones and another for the electronic ones.
All digital metres show a distance reading along with the fare, so this should have worked. However, that would be half the information and could possibly lead to further confusion with what was on the meter and what was on the fare card itself. The digital meter reading is set in red so that it connects directly with the digits on the electronic meter. The source of the data for these cards was the Maharashtra Motor Vehicles Department website.
You can also follow along on Twitter. Please feel free to spread it across to all your friends and family who live in Bombay. Just the satisfaction of having people across the city use something created by me to better the way they get things done through their day.
I think Helvetica is ideal for this. This is meant to inform you, rather than inflict thrill or pleasure. Helvetica is plan, it is simple. This list needed to be plain, yet simple. I rest my case. It could. I originally wanted the overall image to be as white as possible, but since black text on white can look exceedingly dull, I made it grey.
Colours behave differently on different qualities of display, so I thought it best to leave colour out of it for the most of it. The column on the left is condensed because the meter usually has numbers in a condensed format too and is set against black. This should make that connection slightly clearer. Revati says:. So, I just nominated you for the Liebster Blog Award. Hi Seems the rate card you have provided is incorrect.
The tariffs in both are one and the same and absolutely correct. Mumbai Auto Fare Card says:. Thank you, Anand! Three thumbs up for bridging the distance between the labyrinthine columns. This card is so much easier to use. Can you also please please make a taxi tariff card in your style? And also, thanks for using Helvetica, I really like that font.
Haha, always welcome. This is also happening slowly with rickshaws here. I used a narrower, more condensed version of Helvetica for the Meter Reading column to match the narrow numbers on the actual meters.
This is to make a visual connection between the two so that your eyes instinctively read the numbers in the left column as meter readings and the ones on the right as fares. Does that answer what you meant to ask? Dude again new rates hve cum fr rick it starts vid 15 rs….!!!

In case you find the online service not calculating the rates correctly, it is possible because since the new tariffs came into effect recently and you might like to wait for them to update the calculation. I just wanted to add that there is nothing wrong in the increase of auto fares due to an increase in CNG prices. But then its for the good, none should be left behing.
I just wish they would be honest and stopped tampering with their meters, as the difference in the meter reading from one rick to the other is staggering. Dont worry, Mobile 4 Mumbai is coming with interesting solution, Even fare is hiked, you can travel very cheaply and with same comfort…. We are working and likely to take month!!! How to get this rate card on mobile. I am not able chk website on my cell.

Do you know how much CNG prices have increased upto in the last month? Auto taxi drivers too need to make a living in costly city Mumbai right? The auto wala. The auto meter should be check when they are on road by the R. It better having our own car. Check out the SmartShehar Mumbai apps on Android phones. The Auto app, not only does the calculation for you, it even allows you to have your own meter on the phone. Dear all, no need to keep the rate cards, or to login into any website not even rickfare.
Do not forget to round off. If its I hope that saves your time, offcourse you will ask how to calculate, i hope everyone carries a mobile now a days….
