Re: [AI] insensitive rickshaw drivers in Pune

Re: [AI] insensitive rickshaw drivers in Pune
Dear Narendra I live in Pune too, and have switched entirely to Uber and OLA. both apps are accessible on an IPhone. what is even better is that Uber is cheaper than auto. you can book an auto through ola too and they only charge 10 rupees extra solves the problem Divyanshu On 5/21/15, Narendra Sathe wrote: > Hi all > > Due to grace of God I have a decent financial condition and so I move > in pune by rickshaw.

In Mumbai, the situation is more or less similar. I use to commute to and from work by rickshaw. However, my observation is that the rickshaw guys are generally becoming difficult at times, not just targetting us as visually challenged. In fact, because of not being able to get a rickshaw on my way back from office which in fact happens to be at around 4 in the evening (non peak hours), I switched to B E S T travel. There, we cannot be denied envrey neither do we have to worry about finding a seat and seldom to worry about where to get off once familiar with the stops on the way, not to mention the feasibility of commute by bus. Sometimes, the idea is to make the commute convenient and spending on rickshaw may be necessary but when the guys act nasty, taking the next best option might just be the right thing to do. Bang opposite my bank, there is a rickshaw stand and not too further off is a bus stop. Usually a known rickshaw man would drive two others and me right to my doorstep However, after a few days, he would allow me to sit in the rickshaw but I had to wait for two or three other commuters to come so he could claim a share from each person. I began to realise that the wait was getting too much. Instead of reaching home in 10 to 15 minutes, which would have ideallly been the reason for taking a rick, I reached home in half an hour. Apparently, all other rickshaw drivers refused saying that the only man who would agree to drop off at my area of residence was the guy who ran the share rickshaw. The next evening, after waiting around for ten or so minutes and being refused by other auto guys, I headed to the busstop. As I was stepping into the bus, the rickshaw guy called out saying that the others had come and that there was a seat for me. But, I had made up my mind. This, however, has temporarily taken care of my situation, but as you say, there are times, when I would wish to choose commute by auto when I am carrying shopping bags and stuff. Also, during monsoon days, when a rickshaw drop home is obviously preferable. The problem here seems to be about them choosing to drive customers to their preferred destination rather than have us dropped where we wish to go. This is the case even in case of sighted customers.

Re: [AI] insensitive rickshaw drivers in Pune
Dear Friends, I do agree with the fact that, sometimes Rickshaw Drivers are really rood and insensitive towards Visually Challenged Persons but there are few Drivers who are really helpful and want to help genuinely. I really had some good experiences with Rickshaw Drivers. Some of them refuse to take Money by saying, “God gives us enough to eat in the evening and we love helping when someone is in need” so I had to force them to take money, however, people like them are really few. One more thing but this is my personal opinion, I can’t trust Rickshaw Drivers when I am travelling to other Cities as much as I trust Rickshaw Drivers in Mumbai. in Cities like Mumbai Rickshaw use Meter but in many Cities they don’t , this makes us pay extra if we are new to the City or they refuse to take where we want to go.

Re: [AI] insensitive rickshaw drivers in Pune
The situation is not different in other cities. I feel not only VI. But others are also facing their nasty behavior.

Re: [AI] insensitive rickshaw drivers in Pune
Narendre, Thanks for bringing this up. In Mumbai, the situation is more or less similar. I use to commute to and from work by rickshaw. However, my observation is that the rickshaw guys are generally becoming difficult at times, not just targetting us as visually challenged. In fact, because of not being able to get a rickshaw on my way back from office which in fact happens to be at around 4 in the evening (non peak hours), I switched to B E S T travel. There, we cannot be denied envrey neither do we have to worry about finding a seat and seldom to worry about where to get off once familiar with the stops on the way, not to mention the feasibility of commute by bus. Sometimes, the idea is to make the commute convenient and spending on rickshaw may be necessary but when the guys act nasty, taking the next best option might just be the right thing to do. Bang opposite my bank, there is a rickshaw stand and not too further off is a bus stop. Usually a known rickshaw man would drive two others and me right to my doorstep However, after a few days, he would allow me to sit in the rickshaw but I had to wait for two or three other commuters to come so he could claim a share from each person. I began to realise that the wait was getting too much. Instead of reaching home in 10 to 15 minutes, which would have ideallly been the reason for taking a rick, I reached home in half an hour.

Re: [AI] insensitive rickshaw drivers in Pune
There must be Rikshaw Union in the district,do find its president's number/address and lodge a complain. Moreover, have a word with the transport supervising authorities in the district,you could make a visit to district collector office,by lodging written complain,I wish officials would respond positively. Otherwise no alternative: one could merely lament and regret.
