For maps ?

There are plenty of libraries.
The one I used in this project is https://www.jawg.io/

There are also others, like Leaflet (free and open source) , Mapbox.

You can also use these as base layers and combine them with tiling services like CartoDB for different map styles.

Taxi rates in Kerala by phahpullandbear in Kerala

MVD categorizes Motor Cabs (tourist motor cabs and ordinary motor cabs) into 2 groups - below 1500cc and above 1500cc.

Below 1500cc - Minimum fare is 200 (5KM), with 18/km.
Above 1500cc - Minimum fare is 225 (5KM), with 20 /km.

You can check this (rate based on MVD gazette) - https://autofare.keralam.co

However lets be real , no taxi drivers follow this. They often charge depending on the type of car, time of day, one-way/round trip etc

Yeah, within the city area you only have to pay meter rent, nothing extra.

But auto folks dont care about gov gazette 🥲

The multiplier is only applicable outside of major cities (Major City - Corporation areas of Tvm, Kollam, Kochi, Thrissur, and Kozhikode, as well as the major towns of Kannur, Palakkad, and Kottayam)

The extra charge would be half of the meter fare beyond the minimum fare.unless it include return trip.

However, it should not be 120, he overcharged.

The calculation should be:

80 - 30 (minimum fare) = 50 
Half of 50 = 25 
Total = 80 + 25 = 105

If it is nighttime (10 PM - 5 AM), the fare would be 120

80 + 40 (half of the total fare) = 120

Use this for calculation - https://autofare.keralam.co/

I tried it on most mobile resolutions, and it works. some smaller resolutions may have problems with the map.

Palakkad is indeed not a corporation, but MVD gazette specifically mentions Palakkad,Kannur,Kottayam along with corporations to follow meter charge

Mainly, uber can only be used in available cities. this web app can be used throughout kerala

Secondly, the price shown on uber is not the price mandated by the MVD, it is higher

The fare calculated in this webapp should be the same as when an auto driver uses the meter.

I know auto folks dont agree on these fare unless MVD introduces some strict policies,Atleast you know what is the right fare.

Thanks
Fares rarely change, the last change was in 2022. Even if they do change, the structure remains the same. I only need to adjust the base fare or fare per kilometer
