I was cheated by a cabbie when I hailed a cab from Mumbai Dometic airport to CBD Belapur.There was a big queue at the prepaid counter and therefore I hailed a cab from outside.He demanded 1200 rupees initially,but after tellin ghim about prepaid fares which are 650-700 he agreed for 900 bucks.In addition I had to also pay the toll xharges at Vashi.On reaching the destination,when I handed over a 1000 rupee note,instead of giving me a change of 100 rupees,he said that I gave him a 100 rupee note.It was dark and I thought I may have made a mistake and was confused.
I handed over another 1000 rupee note to him and on reaching home,checked my purse and was certain that i was cheated.I paid 1800 rupees instead of 900!
It was a Santro Cool Cab and unfortunately i did not note the number of the cab as , until I reached home,I was not sure that I was cheated.
People,please beware of the Mumbai taxiwallahs.
It was raining and was a visarjan day, as usual the looting was rampant.
