[Resolved] Mumbai Taxi — fault meter | |
To a Traffic Police Head, I traveled today [18-nov-2008] from Dadar to Borivali at mor. 4.45 AM. After reaching Borivali, taxi driver told me to give 475+ rs because meter was showing around 28 reading. This is absolutely disgusting. since I travel regularly from Churchgate to Borivali and it cost not more than 350 rs. Driver has also behaved badly and threatened me that he will break a glass and will scratch himself and than will go to police to accuse me. I ultimately gave him 450 rs. Taxi number is MH-02 R 6863. My wife has tried to register complain today at around 6.45 PM at dadar RTO, but they have refused to take a complain and told to go to Borivali Police station. I dont know why? People say that there is nexus between Taxi driver near station and traffic police there ... i have no comment ... but if this is true than its high time to look into this ... I am sure there are still many loyal police in traffic department and can give due consideration to my complain and revert back to me either via phone or via email. Hope by doing this i am not inviting more trouble !!! Nilesh Shah regards, Was this information helpful? | |

On 3rd May 2009 at around 4 am I and my wife boarded a taxi bearing registration number MH 01 X 4421 from Dadar railway station to Malad. The driver told that he shall be charging by meter. Subsequently he told that the meter rate is 1.5 times in the night. When we got down at Malad he showed a meter reading of 22.6 and as per his card asked for a payment of Rs 480. I paid him a 500 note, which rhrough a sleight of hand he changed with a Rs 100 note and asked me to pay the balance amount. He did it again when I gave him another Rs 500 note. I actually thought that he may be right, but when I came inside the house and checked the balances I realised that the driver has taken me for a ride and collected more than Rs 1200 from me for a trip costing not more than Rs 300. Please take action against the taxi driver as he has made me feel miserable and looted me. There was an accomplice sitting with him all the way from Dadar to malad.
Please tell to whom I should complain. I was told that this is a common occurence at Dadar station during nighttime. Some one should investigate, so that others do not suffer my fate.

Sir,
I traveled in a taxi no MH 02R 6467 on Nov 11th from airport to Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Deonar. Usually the taxi charges are come never more than 200. this driver was asking Rs. 450 and I paid 350 finally due to his fight. I am sure he charged 150 more from me. He said the meter reading is 25 Km. this is unbeleivable and he dropped me in front of the gate and I carried baggages alone. I am pregnant, this created me a lot of physical and mental problems. Please take any action to prevent this kind of behaviour from taxi drivers.
Thank you.
