Prepaid autos

Sir, — The computerisation of prepaid autorickshaw counters at railway stations has failed to instil discipline among autorickshaw drivers. At Krishnarajapuram Railway Station, passengers are heckled by autorickshaw drivers. They demand Rs. 50 for a distance of 3 km to 4 km. Aged people and passengers carrying heavy luggage cannot walk till ITI gate to take a bus. Autorickshaw drivers take advantage of this. It is time traffic police regulated the functioning of autorickshaws at Krishnarajapuram Railway Station.

Signboards missing

Sir, — The signboards at Ramachandrapura, Jalahalli, have crashed. The signboard of Dodda Channappa Layout at the entrance of Ramachandrapura is not there now. So is the case with signboards showing 1st Cross, 6th Cross and 7th Cross. There is a pile of garbage at Dodda Channappa Layout. The City Municipal Council (CMC) workers do not clear the garbage for months. Streetlights are not working. I urge the Byatarayanapura CMC authorities to look into these problems.

Reckless driving

Sir, — Autorickshaw passengers at night or early in the morning are not safe. The drivers violate every rule in the book to reach their destination. Some drivers drink and drive. It is time the city had mobile police patrols to crack down on such indiscipline among autorickshaw drivers.

Signal lights needed

Sir, — The pedestrians find it impossible to cross the R.T. Nagar Main Road because of heavy traffic. Many requests to the traffic police have not yielded any result. I once again appeal to the traffic police to install traffic signals at least at four places on R.T. Nagar Main Road.
