Mumbai commuters travelling by autorickshaw or taxi to pay more starting today owing to fare hike
March 01, 2021
× Passengers in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region travelling by autorickshaw or taxi in Mumbai will be paying more for their commute starting today owing to a hike in the minimum fares.
According to new tariff cards released by authorities over the weekend, the minimum fare for an autorickshaw (CNG), for 1.5 kilometres has been hiked to ₹21 as opposed to the previous fare of ₹18. For subsequent per Km, the charge is ₹14.20 (Rounded off to nearest Rupee).
For the black and yellow taxi (kaali-peeli) (CNG), the fare has been hiked to ₹25 as opposed to earlier ₹22. For subsequent per km, the charge is ₹16.93 (Rounded off to nearest Rupee).
Beyond this flag down minimum distance, passengers will have to pay Rs 16.93 per km for taxis and Rs 14.20 per km for auto-rickshaws, they said.
The decision for the minimum fare hike by Rs 3 was taken last week in a meeting of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Transport Authority (MMRTA) which was chaired by Maharashtra transport secretary.
The fare increase has been calculated as per a formula devised by the four-member Khatua panel, and it entails a hike of Rs 2.09 per km for taxis and Rs 2.01 for auto-rickshaws, the officials said.
The last fare hike was implemented on June 1, 2015, they said.
State Transport Minister Anil Parab last week said the fares of auto-rickshaws and taxis in the metropolis were being hiked after a gap of six years and it was long overdue .
