With approximately 2.5 lakh auto-rickshaws zipping through the city, they remain the lifeline for Amdavadis, offering affordable and accessible transport. However, many of these autos operate without functioning meters, charging passengers arbitrary fares.

These QR codes will enable passengers to access comprehensive information about the auto owner and driver, including their background.
This measure, part of the Nirbhaya Initiative, aims to empower commuters, particularly women travelling late at night, to make informed decisions about their safety.
