Hi,
I took a taxi (number. WB04C8594) from ultodanga to go to the passport office at ruby-cosba connector on 25th june, 2012, at 12.05pm. after a few minutes in the taxi i noticed that the meter was going up at an unusually fast rate, when i asked him, he gave a really vague and nonsense reply. when i got down at Ruby connector, the driver asked me to pay Rs.160!! i was like, what the ****!! the distance from ruby to ultadanga is barely 12km (you can check on the google map, it says 11.5km) and the actual fare for that distance should hardly be not more than 70bucks!
i have been feeling cheated and robbed the whole day and i want that driver to be punished and not only him, but all the kolkata cab drivers with tampered taxi meters.
please take this complaint seriously as this is not just a personal complaint; kolkata people are getting robbed by these types of taxi drivers everyday.
p.s. i could not understand how to fill up the target company details. so i gave the taxi number as business name and gave the kolkata police's address as business address. i think the complaint falls under the traffic dept. of kolkata police.
