Phone Norris McWhirter
My first experience of these Mumbai taxis - essentially old fiat cars and not really large enough for me - might have set a world record. The driver told me at the end of the 1km journey that it was 200 rupee, which seemed a bit expensive, but as it's £2.50 I thought it would be OK. I only had a 500 rupee note, however, and would you believe it he had no change. So it cost 500 rupees (about £6).
Next morning I met someone I knew in the hotel who mentioned that I might have overpaid a bit. I got in a similar cab for the same journey and we paid the correct price, which is 25 rupee.
