This application enables the user to be in more control of his travel, check where exactly he is being driven to, checking the fare and the distance he/she is travelling.
Tuk Tuk Meter does not require internet connection or even the presence of the service provider. It works using the Global Positioning System (GPS). The application can be started on entering the autorikshaw and the meter in the phone will run alongside the meter in the rickshaw and it can double check the distance travelled as shown in the auto’s meter and the GPS distance calculated by the application.
