All this cringe-ass drama to act cute. She seems annoying.

Today I had a really strange experience with a Mumbai kaali-peeli taxi, and I wanted to know if this is common or if I got scammed.

I travelled from Juhu to Siddhivinayak using Uber and paid around ₹290. The ride was smooth.

On my way back, I couldn’t get an Uber, so I took a regular black-and-yellow taxi from outside Siddhivinayak. It was non-AC and running on the meter.

The fare just kept climbing. By the time we were about 2–3 km from my destination, the taxi broke down in the middle of the road. The meter was showing ₹770.

The driver insisted I pay the full amount even though he couldn’t complete the trip. I was left stranded and had to spend another ₹100 on an auto to finally get home.

The difference between ₹290 (Uber) and ₹770 (meter taxi, incomplete trip) for essentially the same route feels crazy.

I don’t know if:
-the driver deliberately took a longer route,
-the meter was faulty/tampered with,
or this is somehow normal due to traffic.

I’m new to Mumbai, so I’d love to know:
Does this sound like I got scammed?

Would appreciate any advice from Mumbaikars. Thanks!
