I had written this in the month of september.

Now it seems again after some deliberations it has been decided that the autos in Belgaum will charge by Meter, Wow.
The Prepaid auto booth will start from 3rd December and the autos will start charging by meter by the 10th December.
The minimum fare is Rs.12 and Rs.6 per km later.
The prepaid auto booth will take Re.1 as service charge and the same will be operated by the Association of the physically handicapped.
Hope this time atleast it works.
