Gurugram, Aug. 24 -- Residents will soon have a network of prepaid auto rickshaw booths across the city to access auto rides for easy and safe transportation, officials said on Saturday adding that the primary locations of these booths will be the metro stations. Officials said that the Gurugram police commissioner Vikas Kumar Arora presided over a multi-departmental meeting on Friday in which he issued directions to launch the prepaid facility at Iffco Chowk. "After the success of the trial, the booth services will be extended to the other planned locations as well. The facility is aimed at providing better services to the commuters," said Arora. Assistant commissioner of police (ACP) (traffic east) Sanjay Kumar said that the booth on trial basis will start functioning at the Iffco chowk within 10 days. "We have held meetings with the auto rickshaw unions. A police constable and a union representative will be at the booths to operate it," said ACP Kumar. "This booth service will also end the disparity in auto rickshaw fares which could not be fixed in the city yet even after multiple attempts over the last several years. It will also ensure safety and security of passengers especially women in case of late light commuting," said ACP Kumar, adding that additional booths will be afterward made operational at metro stations like Sikanderpur, MG Road, Millenium City Centre and other parts of the city too. Prince Arora, a resident of Sector 15, said it's a welcome step as all major cities have such booths and a fixed meter-based fare system. Meanwhile, the ACP also directed officials to install signages to make everyone aware that e-rickshaws are only permitted to operate on link roads and not on crucial roads like Sohna road, Delhi-Jaipur Expressway and a few others in the city. Officials said that an e-rickshaw will reach on the main road only to drop passengers at a key location like a metro station and then will have to return into the link road again. Arora also reviewed the eight green corridors created across the city where vehicles maintaining speed of 40kmph will not have to stop at red signals....
