On October 29, 2023, the beloved black and yellow taxis of Mumbai will be saying their goodbyes, reminiscent of the farewell bid to the red double-decker buses from BEST. The final vehicle, a Fiat 1100D, also known as the Premier Padmini, was registered on the same date in 2003 with the number MH01 JA 2556. After a 20-year journey, today marks the end of an era, as these iconic black and yellow taxis become part of history. It is our hope that the Maharashtra Government and the Mumbai Nagar Palika will consider preserving at least one of these taxis for the benefit of future generations.
