[Resolved] Mumbai Taxi — Mumbai taxi | |
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 through 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. Was this information helpful? | |

I took a taxi from Raheja Vihar, Chandivali to Domestic airport in the morning at 06:21 AM. The taxi number was MH 03 AT 315. The meter in the taxi was electronic. When the taxi approached airport the meter was showing Rs. 53. somthing. The taxi driver did something and meter went blank. After reaching airport, he demanded Rs. 150/- While the charges should have been around Rs. 60/- as about a KM back the meter reading was arounf Rs. 53/- The meters of such taxi should be checked and the provision for switching off the meters shoild be heavily penalised.
