The Pune Regional Transport Office has announced a strategic change in the locations for autorickshaw meter inspections, prompted by low participation from drivers at the initial sites. The inspections were originally set up at Alankar Police Station in Karvenagar and Ramtekdi Industrial Estate but will now be moved to more accessible locations to enhance service delivery. This decision comes in light of feedback from autorickshaw drivers and owners who have expressed the need for easier access to these essential inspections. The authorities are keen to ensure that meter inspections are not only thorough but also convenient for all drivers in the region. The new locations are expected to attract a larger number of participants, thereby addressing concerns about compliance and safety in the transportation sector.

The decision highlights the importance of collaboration between local transport authorities and the autorickshaw community. As the city continues to grow, such responsive measures are vital for maintaining effective transportation services. This shift in inspection locations is part of a broader initiative to improve public transport regulations and service standards in Pune.
