If you have a smart phone, this GPS-based fare calculator can compute the exact fare. Known as the A-Rix Meter, it has been designed and developed by Bangalorean design student Siddharth Vanchinathan.\n\nIt could be the answer to many auto woes, especially as the new auto fares have come into effect from 12th March. The A-Rix Meter uses the GPS in your smart phone to pinpoint your location accurately to within 10 metres.\n\nWhen you get into an auto, simply slide the yellow button on the A-Rix Meter to the \u2018start\u2019 position. The meter will start and run even as you do other activities on your phone. When you reach your destination, slide the yellow button to the \u2018end\u2019 position and the meter tells you the fare.\n\nThe A-Rix app can be updated for the new fare. It also has fare information of several cities in India, and loads the fare chart based on your location. So if you move to a new city, this app is a great way to get comfortable with public transport."}
