Online Campaign Attracts Responses From Other Cities
TIMES NEWS NETWORK

Bangalore: The web campaign — Meter Jam — against overcharging and refusing autorickshaws, is picking speed. Web portals like meterjam.com, Twitter and Facebook are abuzz with responses and reactions from harried passengers. In fact, netizens are suggesting that the movement be made a monthly one to make it effective.
The campaign launched by three advertising professionals in Mumbai has attracted responses even from Bangalore and Delhi. It’s an initiative by a bunch of folks who would “rather do what they can than complain about what’s not being done’’. While the majority online expressed their grouse against autorickshaw drivers, some have sympathized with them, stating that those at the wheel, too, have their own share of problems.
Netizens feel like Bus Day, ‘Meter Jam’ could be made once-a-month affair. Regularity, they believe, will leave an impact. There’s also this section of people who feels passengers wouldn’t mind paying as long as the meter is fair. One Twitter message indicated auto drivers in a particular area of Mumbai didn’t talk impolitely all day on Monday. Whether polished behaviour is just an eyewash to save their pockets or are they actually giving a serious thought to passengers’ plight is yet to be gauged.
