Mumbai: Passengers at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA) will no more be fleeced by touts and taxi drivers.
The Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) authorities will soon be launching a new system in which a passenger booking a pre-paid cab will be provided with the registration number of the vehicle in which he/she will be travelling.
Although this development has gone down well with security agencies and passengers, a certain section of taxi drivers think the move is against them. They claim that if their numbers come when they take a break or when they are away to offer prayers, the passengers could face difficulties.
A MIAL spokesperson said that the step is being initiated keeping passenger safety and convenience in mind. He added that it will keep touts at bay helping the cab drivers immensely.
