Mumbai's black and yellow taxi drivers have agreed to a rise in minimum fare from existing Rs 22 to Rs 25, instead of Rs 30 as demanded earlier, promising to improve services and their behaviour. Their demands may soon be accepted as they had a successful meeting with the state government over the weekend.
"If we calculate the cost of living and index, the fare ideally should go up to Rs 27 and hence we had rounded off to the closest figure that is Rs 30. But we also have to see the business and remain practical and hence we have decided to round off the figures to Rs 25, Mumbai Taximen's Union leader Anthony L Quadros told mid-day on Thursday.
