We talk about revolutions and bringing change through blogs, discussions, forums, etc but seldom do we take a step that involves some action. Here is one you can be part of without leaving your comfy chair and yet might make a difference. It’s called Meter Jam.

What is Meter Jam?

Meter Jam is a new movement, a campaign to bring about a change in faulty meters, nagging cab drivers and un-friendly rides! When they can get on strikes for hike in fares, why can’t we come on strike to make sure things are fair!

Its a usual thing to be denied a ride by a cab driver as per his convenience of not to take you where you are willing to go. One cannot find an auto before checking up with atleast 5-6 different autos. But this is something against the Motor Law! If the meter says ‘For Hire’, the cabbie/auto driver will have to go where-ever you want to go. If they deny, you can simply report them to the RTO customer care where they would be fined.

There are many other rules which these drivers do not follow and most have them have faulty meters. Now is the time to bring about the change by denying to be taken for a ride(literally)!

How can you be a part of this change?

It’s pretty simple. 12th August is being marked as the day for the campaign. Do not take an auto or a metered cab on this day! Simply say NO. Use the bus or hitch a ride, but do not use them.

You can also spread awareness but putting up posters, posting on FB, tweeting the event. Check their website. Let more and more people know… 22,000+ have already joined the movement but we will need much more!! May we bring the change.
