At last, passengers arriving at Mumbai’s domestic airport can breathe a sigh of relief. The airport finally has a prepaid taxi counter. This means that it’s no longer necessary haggle with taxi drivers after exiting the airport for a reasonable fare, or risk a trip in a taxi with a faulty meter.

In future, there will be four prepaid taxi counters inside Domestic Terminal 1B, and one outside it. Domestic Terminal 1A will have two prepaid counters inside, and one outside.

As well as offering fixed rates, the prepaid taxi system is popular because of its added security feature. Drivers are only receive their money once they return with the receipt signed by the passenger.
