Honk !! Honk !! Gurgaon Commuters.

Radio Autos as they were in Chandigarh

Public transport has always been of maximum concern, specially making it inconvenient for the elderly and women in NCR, especially to the full fledged business hub Gurgaon. But here the wait ends as exciting news for Gurgaon commuters is out. After straggling it all finally radio auto makes it way onto the roads of Gurgaon from 22 Novemeber though they did facea failure in Chandigarh incurring a loss of few thousands in comparison to the fraudulent scams that we hear every morning. . Someone year back I was a daily commuter to Gurgaon so this auto thing did fascinate me, as at times I had to grapple while commutation. What was more interesting is the accessibility with the helpline number (0124-2343434) and the facilty will be there for the inner paths of Gurgaon only. To make the facility available to the masses in Gurgaon advertisements have already made rounds to the city, which I haven’t noticed as yet. Since we all know that Gurgaon is beckoned as a business hub with the presence for most of the corporate houses and a lower classes traveling from Delhi to NCR, I am sure that this facility will surely be a great help for women and labours.

On an account of fares, the pockets will have to shed Rs 50 for first 3 kms and  Rs 8 for subsequent kms. No compromises have been made on the timing from 6:30 am to 11:30pm.

These autos will be equipped and featured with safety measures like Global Positioning System (GPS) to track the auto position, a panic button for the commuters and a current immobilizer (to disconnect the electrical circuit in case of a CNG fire) inclusive of Mobile Phone charging socket.

Though now the City buses and cabs had been available for commutation but not to the inner areas. Keeping fingers crossed we hope that this facilty really does some good to daily commuters since its high time that the city desperately needs intra-city transport as soon as possible.
