Taxi — Exorbitant fare collected

Address:400014

I would like to inform you that I landed at dadar central railway station on 4th feb 2017 at 5.45 AM from madurai and as soon as we got down from train taxi drivers came inside the station requesting us to come in their taxi.As we found that taxi driver is inside the station we thought it would be better to hire it as my 83 years old mother was there with me so I did not want her to walk outside the station to hire a taxi.We hired taxi from the station and we went to Borivalli west with the meter on in taxi.He collected as per meter RS.800/ and we paid it.When we reached home and enquired about normal fare from dadar to Borivalli with our relatives they said it would be RS.450/ only.So we have been cheated by the taxi driver as we paid 50% more to him for the distance when there was no traffic at 6AM in the morning.The police at the dadar station should stop such taxi drivers to enter the station to get clients for their taxi which is illegal.Actually we were about to hire taxi from prepaid counter and as this taxi driver was pestering us we hired him.I have been cheated so the police department should take steps to stop such taxi drivers to enter station in future so passengers like me who are knew to Mumbai are not cheated like this.Immediate steps should be taken to stop this illegal activity.
