Worked Example
Let's say you need to travel 10 kilometers in a standard auto rickshaw. Here's how the calculation works:
Example Calculation
Base Fare: ₹50
Distance: 10 km
Rate per Kilometer: ₹15
Total Fare: ₹50 + (10 × ₹15) = ₹50 + ₹150 = ₹200
So, the estimated fare for a 10 km ride in a standard auto rickshaw would be ₹200.
