Dear Prashant Sir, Though I have never used such services in Delhi, but for Mumbai suberbs there have been many such services. One of the most successful was Riksha Wale. However, most of the time due to administration difficulties, and lack of education, these services stop functioning.
I dont know about Delhi, but here in Mumbai they do take some convenience charge also (frankly nobody would mind paying if you are getting the auto at your doorstep), and interestingly, this charge is reduced to 50% for elderly, women and people with disability. As a service, this kind of initiative is always welcome, though the level of professionalism will not be as good as the radio taxy companies maintain (for obvious reasons such as lack of resources). But given the fact that it is economically viable, one should always use such options wherever available. And importance of such options is all the more valued by people who are not good at mobility. On a completely different note, here in Mumbai one can order good quality vegitables etc. also using websites with hardly any difference between the market price and prices taken by such providers. I know that these kind of projects have been operating in Delhi too, but never got a chance to use them. Regards, -- Amar Jain.
