Kamat informed the press that the digital meters have technical issues and will likely affect the battery of the car. He said that the government should chair a meeting with the taxi operators and take them into confidence before making meters compulsory.
General Secretary of ATTO, Gangaram Fadke alleged that the government has completely ignored the technical aspect of the digital faring meter.
“They should have discussed the advantages and disadvantages of these meters which was not done. Hence, they (Government) are misguiding Taxi Operators,” Fadke Charged.
