With the recent hike in CNG prices, the auto unions were demanding a steep hike in their fares. The base fare for the first 1.6km was Rs 9/- and the union wanted to increase this fare to Rs 15/-.
The govt however have not increased the fare so much but Mumbaikars will now have to pay Rs 11/- as the base fare for the next auto ride they take. The fares are now at par with the fares of the autos plying in Thane / Vashi area.
The taxi’s union also wanted a hike in their base fares. Their base fares have been increased from Rs 14/- to Rs 16/- for the first 1.6Km. The cool cabs fares have also been increased from Rs 17.50/- to Rs 20/- for the first 1.6Km.
The updated chart of the fares will be put up soon.

Is it true that 1.6km is rupees 11 for cng auto rickshaw, after that every km is Rs 7 i.e each 10 paise on meter is equale to 00.70?
