A free mobile application created by Auro Infotech, allows you to not only calculate auto fares but also notify your family members about your location.
As soon as you enter the application, you have to fill ‘to and from’ location and click the calculate fare button. The app immediately notifies the user about the distance and the approximate fare. It also has an option of adding the waiting time, depending on which the fare changes. Auto fares between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. are slightly higher and there is an option to calculate the night fare.
Once you have typed all the details, there is a link that says ‘Send SMS.’ Once you click this link, it asks you to give the auto number and the app sends all the details including the place you took the auto, the destination and the auto number, to the selected contacts.
The other features of the app are ‘Direction to the Destination’ that maps out the route and the ‘Fare calculator’ that displays the auto fare sheet. If the commuters complain, the app gives contact numbers.
