I arrived at borivali station from shatabdi express, was booking ola but it showed 12mins, took a taxi who approach me while coming out of taxi! He showed me the meter and told rs.50 extra for luggage and than covered it with cloth! On my asking he said engine catches heat and than after sometimes he fighted with a rickshaw driver which i scolded him and told him to stop doing drama ands take airport! After reaching airport he found a perfect spot and than when i asked how much it showed rs.1250 reading to which i caught hold of him and than he directly asked me to check with other taxi driver, which i did, one said 800-900 and other 1150! It was whole gang union only at international airport! I paid him telling my biggest mistake that i dint took ola! He will eventually pay for it, karma! Government should ban yellow/black as they tend to dupe which prepaid and private cabs cant!

I took a black and yellow taxi from Juhu to go to marine drive. The meter of the taxi was covered in black tape only the price was visible. The meter was defective. For just 5 kms it showed 1200/-. When we told him to stop and asked him about the price he became violent and started abusing. He was not letting us get out of the taxi without paying. The number of the taxi is MH 01 AT 7194. MODEL- Santro.

Also he asked us to give some money in advance to fill petrol. He said to give 1000/- which he will later adjust accordingly. Later he refused and said we gave him 600/- only and then gave him 600/- more as the meter reading was showing 1200/- for just 5 kms. We told him to stop at 800/- then he increased the speed and said he will stop at next chowk. And then just after 2 mins the meter reading was 1200/-.
