Kochi-based MindHelix Technologies has launched ‘Tuk Tuk’ meter, a mobile application that enables the commuter to get a fair fare from the autorickshaws.
This is India’s first multi-platform application that can dynamically calculate the distance travelled using GPS and calculate the fare due. The application runs on smartphones with Android, Blackberry or Symbian operating systems without any need for manual distance or fare entry.
‘Tuk Tuk’ meter does not require internet connection or the service provider enabling it to function even in remote areas. The application has a simple user interface that consists of a Start / Stop button. The ‘Tuk Tuk’ meter can be customised for any location by entering the fare details in the settings page.
The application can be started on entering the autorickshaw and the meter in the phone will run alongside the meter in the rickshaw.
