Pune’s Cab Prices Get New Rules
All cab companies in Pune will now follow the same price rules from May 1. The basic fare will be ₹37 for first 1.5 kilometers and after that ₹25 for each kilometer. This rule will help around 45,000 cabs in Pune to charge the same price.
Before this rule, different cab companies used to charge different prices, which was confusing for people. Now, everyone will know exactly how much they need to pay for their ride.
Every cab will have a special QR code that you can scan with your phone. This code will show you the right prices approved by the government. For example, if you travel 10 kilometers, you’ll pay at least ₹249.50.
The new cab prices are similar to auto-rickshaw prices in Pune. This helps people understand the costs better. The Indian Gig Workers Front, which speaks for drivers, is happy with these changes.
The government will keep checking if cab companies follow these rules. This will help both drivers and passengers. Now no one can charge more money than what the government has fixed.
This new system will make life easier for people who use cabs daily. You can now calculate how much money you need for your journey before starting. Whether you book any cab company, the price will be the same, making it fair for everyone.
The latest Pune business updates show these fare regulations are part of a broader initiative to standardize transportation costs in the city.
