[Resolved]  Kolkata Taxi — Kolkata taxi meter tampered

Address:West Bengal

I travelled by Taxi number WB04E 8750 on 22-Aug from Science City to Sec V and the day being a holiday there was hardly any traffic. The distance being around 7 Kms, the usual fare is around 70 bucks. But this taxi having a totally faulty meter (with taxi driver manipulating a wire near the steering wheel), registered a fre of 130 bucks with a distance reading as 12.8 Kms which is totally crap. I ran from pillar to post seeking police help but it being a holiday there were hardly any in the region I got down. Later I registered a complaint with Kolkata Police against this taxi and to get his meter checked, however I was told that it was not possible after a gap of 2 hours. I request all Kolkatans to be aware of this fraud taxi owner/driver and take him straight to a Police station rightaway (as was ifnormed by local PS) and get his meter checked. The total fine payable by taxi owner is Rs 500 of which govt get 250 bucks while the rest is distributed to the victim.

Tampered Taxi Meter — Taxi meter

I boarded a taxi (WB04 B7114) to come to my office in sector 5 saltlake from Avisikta Kalikapur at around 9 in the morning. I am a regular to this and the taxi fare usually comes to around 100/- ~ 110/- But the taxi today was unusually surprising. He charged me 160/- which I knew was much more. When I asked him what was the total kilometers travelled, he couldnot answer as the total kilometer was never displayed in the meter. Also I noticed that the meter reading started from 100 meters instead of 200meters at times. Whenever the meter started from 200, it skiped 5ms for every 10 m travelled.
Please look into it.
The correct number is WB04 71114

Taxi meter tampering — Taxi meter tampering

I have board a taxi from city center2 till bsnl office near karunamoyee and took the same route to and fro. While going to the same I was charged Rs 140 and for the same route while returning I was chrged 260 and when i complained the taxi driver spoke rudely and also refused to give any printed form of slip for the same. I was very annoyed and hence registering the same here. Please take strict action as this is becoming a common practise here in kolkata.

The Taxi registration number is : WB04D 9339
