Bengaluru Auto Fare 2.0

About Bengaluru Auto Fare 2.0 Android App

Bengaluru Auto Fare is an application for Bengaluru (Karnataka, India) based auto travelers to use during their travel in an Auto rickshaw to calculate travel fares. Travel fares are calculated based on the latest rates published by the Government of Karnataka, India. This app calculates the traveled distance based on GPS location, thus helping passenger from being looted by faulty or rigged meters of auto rickshaw.

This application can track the exact route taken by auto driver, find the pickup & drop address, calculate Day Fare and Night Fare. You can view past journeys in History tab.

1. Mobile should have GPS feature
2. Active Internet connection

Features:

1. Easy tabbed interface

4. On clicking Stop Journey, it will show up a summary page which will clearly tell how much distance was travelled and how much passenger has to pay auto driver.
5. All the journey logs are maintained for passenger's future reference.
