Should every three-wheeler be forced to run the meter, no exceptions?

Anyone who's tried to get a three-wheeler at night, in the rain, or near a tourist spot knows the drill — some run the meter without question, many don't, and the fare becomes a negotiation before you've even sat down. One side wants mandatory meters enforced everywhere, arguing passengers — especially women travelling alone at night and tourists who don't know the going rate — deserve a fair, transparent fare every single time, and drivers who refuse should face real consequences. The other side, including many drivers, argues the meter rate doesn't reflect current fuel prices, traffic delays, or short-trip economics, and that negotiating is the only way they stay afloat on certain routes. What's actually happened to you recently — did the driver run the meter, and if not, what did you end up negotiating versus what the meter would have shown? Would a stricter enforcement actually fix this, or just push more drivers to refuse the trip altogether? ත්‍රිරෝද රථ මීටරයෙන් ම යන්න ඕන කියලද ඔබ හිතන්නේ?
