In case of any troublesome situation, one can approach any of the nearby police stations within the city and can launch a complaint against the driver which may result in fine of about 500 Rs on them. All taxis carry driver’s phone number which can be used during difficult situations.

This facility can be availed by paying 5 Rs extra. Any person can avail this facility and collect the coupon provided by the service counter. A policeman will guide them towards the available auto. Once the journey gets over, the coupon should be handed over to auto driver. Nothing extra should be paid to the drivers (irrespective of drivers demand).
