Not much luggage capacity. But for my family, they brought back a lot of memories. And they did their job of taking us from point A to point B. Goodbye and goodbye, kaali-peeli taxis. Thanks for the good times.”

The premier Padmini taxi service in Mumbai was started in 1963. At that time, this taxi service was considered a modern and comfortable means of ride. Soon this taxi service spread on the streets of Mumbai and became the favorite of the city dwellers. Mumbaikars have a deep association with the black-yellow taxi service. This taxi service was available in every corner of the city and easily transported people from one place to another. This taxi service had become a part of the culture and identity of Mumbai.
In recent years, new technology-based taxi services have gained popularity in Mumbai. These new taxi services are offering better facilities and lower fares. Due to this, the demand for black-yellow taxi services has decreased.
