the reading is also in actual rupees in chennai/hyd etc but not mumbai…coz in mumbai, the 100rs mark is quickly churned out in a trip…unlike other places….

the hindrance to embrace digi meteres or reflect any price change is the vast cost of implementation…and like mayur said, it depends on various factors of the city…and yeah supply-demand :)
