Mumbai Authority Cracks Down on Auto, Taxi, and App Fare Violations

The government in Mumbai is cracking down on taxis and ride-sharing apps that are overcharging passengers.

They've told these companies they must follow the official rates set by the government.

If demand is low, fares can't be too cheap, and if demand is high, they can't charge too much extra.

Drivers need to get most of the money from the ride.

The authorities are also punishing drivers who break these rules and those who operate illegal two-wheeler services.

The goal is to make sure everyone pays a fair price and that drivers and passengers are treated fairly.
