Auto & Taxi Fares: A Throwback to 2022’s Fare Hike in Mumbai

Mumbai: The Minimum Metropolitan Region Transport Authority (MMRTA) had approved a significant fare hike in 2022, marking a shift in the city’s transportation costs. The decision raised the minimum fare for taxis to Rs 28 and for auto-rickshaws to Rs 23.

This adjustment, aimed at offsetting rising fuel and maintenance expenses, has been a talking point among commuters ever since. The revision underlined the need to balance public convenience with operational sustainability for taxi and auto drivers.

As Mumbai continues to grow, fare adjustments like these serve as a reminder of the constant evolution of urban transportation dynamics.
