Fares for auto-rickshaws should be government regulated instead of market regulated fares, because auto-rickshaw services, unlike fleet services, are provided by individual owner-operators. Thus, government regulated fares can bring standardization, uniformity, and transparency in the auto-rickshaw fare system. This toolkit, prepared by EMBARQ India, presents a broad methodology to estimate fares for auto-rickshaws in any city.
