- This Device keeps on sending its location to the Rickshawale Call Centre every 5 minutes
- Whenever there is a call from a customer, the call centre executive checks for Autos in that particular location through a Software& then provides the Customer's Address & Contact details to the Driver
- The Driver Calls up the customer as soon as he reaches his Doorstep & completes the pickup.
- 2011 Suburban Population of Mumbai (where Autos can ply) is estimated around 85 Lacs
- Total 1,40,000 Autos plying (can verify data from RTO)
