Nagpur: Auto-rickshaw QR codes have been introduced by traffic police in Nagpur city, located in the Indian state of Maharashtra. The quick response (QR) codes have been implemented by the police to help ensure the city’s three-wheeler are a safe mode of public transportation for citizens.
The first auto-rickshaw QR codes have been distributed to 20 drivers across Nagpur, but this is only the start of the project. These special bar codes will give commuters who travel via rickshaw the chance to obtain the details of their driver. It will also give them the option to lodge a complaint through the QR code with Nagpur traffic police.
The codes will be posted in auto-rickshaws and passengers who have an iPhone or android smartphone can scan the code to obtain the driver’s details.
“The QR code system will help the commuters in a distress situation,” the deputy commissioner of police (traffic) Raj Tilak Roushan told.
“It has been introduced to curb crime and ensure safety of the citizens travelling in an autorickshaw” he added.
