Mumbai: Taxis in Mumbai will soon have electronic meters
in place of the present analog ones. Maharashtra Minister
of State for Transport Dharmarao Baba Atram in the Legislative
Council announced this while making a statement on a
calling attention notice given by Madhu Chavan (BJP)
and others.
Mr Chavan and other members had laid emphasis on having
electronic meters installed in the taxis to counter
overcharging of fare and manipulation by the taxi drivers.
In reply to another notice by Sagar Meghe (BJP) and
others, Transport Minister Surupsingh Naik said 4781
candidates, selected by the Maharashtra State Road Transport
Corporation (MSRTC), would be inducted soon. This would
lead to increase in number of buses plying the roads,
the Minister said.
