Dear Friends,
i want to share a very bad exprience of mine with taxi driver from Bangalore.As i wanted to go to Ooty along with my family .So we have hired a taxi .We had fixed a price of 6.25 Rs per KM and 150 Rs per day allowance for 2 days.
This taxi driver told me that he have to pay Tamilnadu city entrance tax of 550 Rs.We have reached to Tax Naka on the way for Tamilnadu.I told to driver that i will come with you to pay entry tax.then he have told me that it is 550 rs .He also told me that if i come with him then Tax officer will charge more.I got some doubt and forcefully i went along with him to pay tax.when i ask for tax fee then the officer told me that it is 350 Rs.I got shocked that taxi driver have lied me.This taxi driver was not feeling shame and on the above he was telling that why i havnt paid him 200 rs more for tax.

After paying tax, we moved towards ooty.this guy a hahve taken us from long route to ooty to make his meter up.
On the way ,we have stopped the car near a side seen point and we have spent there 30 mins.During journey i was keep on tracing his Meter.So while comming back to taxi ,i again checked meter and shocked to see that it was showing 60 Km more than my previous reading of meter(this rascal have changed the meter reading as these peple have trick to change meter reading manuallly). I told him that about his faulty meter and he fought with me and told it is correct.
I had no options to do anything against him that point of time .So i just agreed about the meter reading with him.This taxi driver have taken more than 50% amount from me to fill petrol.While comming from ooty,he has stopped the car near a petrol bunk and again asked me to pay rest of money.I told himw that i will pay him rest of money once i reach to my destination(bangalore).That Rascal was fighting with me and abusing me in tamil language as i am north indian (dont know tamil).Even he was trying to phyiscally fighting with me.Some how, my brother and my father stopped me and we had paid him money before reaching to bangalore.We paid him money becoz we were with whole family so we dinn't want to make suffer to other memebers of family.At last we have reached to banglore and this Rascal have again asked me to pay 150 Rs allowance per day for 4 days which made me shocked again as we have spent only 2 days in travelling.He have told me that 150 rs for 12 hrs each as we have fixed the prive of 150 per day.I again fought with him about this.As i ended with paying him whole money as this Rascal was knowing my home address in bangalore and i didnt want him to come to my home in my absence.As these taxi drivers always come in group and fight with you.Same case for Auto drivers in bangalore also.

So friends please beware from this kind of rascal taxi drivers.So always take taxi from Travel agency so that you can tell them about this cheating .

As being a middle calss people we can not make these Rascals as our enemy ,they can harm our family in our absence.
