Should Every Tuk Be Forced Onto the Meter — No More Haggling?

Walk up to a three-wheeler at a railway station or a tourist spot and half the time the meter is 'spoiled' and you're negotiating from scratch. Riders want every tuk legally required to run the meter, full stop, with real fines for drivers who refuse. Drivers say flat meter rates don't account for traffic jams, long waits at a stand, night trips, or routes where they drive back empty — so they'd rather set the price upfront than lose money on a fixed rate. App-based tuks like PickMe and Uber already solved this for bookings, but street hailing is still the Wild West in most towns. Some say GPS-based app pricing should just become the legal standard nationwide, others say that kills small independent drivers who can't afford smartphones or data plans. If you ride tuks regularly, or drive one, which system actually works better for you — meter, app, or straight haggling? And have you ever had a driver flatly refuse the meter when you asked? මීටරයෙන් ම යනවද, මිල කතා කරලද - ඔයා කැප කරන්නේ මොකක්ද?
