MH 02 vs MH 03 Autorickshaw

In the past Month or so I have heard what I initially though was most preposterous, but now I think there seems to be at least a grain of truth in it.

Three separate people told me not to take MH 03 autorickshaw as their meters were tampered with, initially I thought they were crazy. I even searched TBHP but couldn’t find a thread about it ( sufficient for me to think this is bunk).

So I put the theory to the test.

Feb 4 : Auto from Andheri station to Hiranandani MH 02 – Rs 60

Feb 5 : Auto from Seepz to Hiranandani MH 03 – Rs 50.
