Rickshaws in the Indian capital of New Delhi are to be fitted with satellite navigation devices to stamp out notorious abuses by wayward drivers, the Daily Telegraph reported.

Transport chiefs hope the electronic mapping display will reduce disputes between commuters who complain of drivers' dishonesty and the drivers who claim they work long hours for poverty wages.

From next week, GPS devices will be installed in 25 three-wheelers in the city. By the end of July they are expected to be mandatory for the rest of the city's 55,000 rickshaws.

The devices will be connected to a government server which will track journeys and allow passengers to check if they are taking the shortest route to their destination.

印度黄包车安装导航仪

       英国《每日电讯报》消息,印度首都新德里的黄包车将安装卫星导航装置以解决不守规矩的司机欺客的问题。

       交通运输部官员们希望这一电子地图设备将缓解乘客和司机之间的矛盾,乘客经常投诉司机欺诈,而司机认为他们工作辛苦却收入甚少。

       下周起导航设备将安装在首都的25辆三轮车上,到七月底剩下全部的55000辆黄包车都会被强制安装。

       这些设备将连接到政府的一个服务器上,这个服务器能够追踪每辆车的行程,从而使官员和乘客可以监督司机是否走的是最短的路线。
