modern metered taxis in Pune
sanchitnis - 2 June, 2008 | Traffic | Pune | public transport
I am not aware of any modern metered taxi service like other major cities in India where one can book taxis over phone or web. Currently there are old rickety yello/black cabs only at airport or Railways station and they do not use meters even though they are supposed to.
Any reason why the progressive city of Pune lacks such a basic service?

I see that those blue cabs have increased in number. Business is good, drivers tell me, so perhaps there is demand for quality metered cabs now.
How do these cabs fix their rates right now? Some regulation, or pure competetion?
