Santro to take place of Mumbai’s taxis

Hyundai’s compact car Santro will take place of Mumbai’s taxis. Now passengers will enjoy Santro with lots of interior space. The state government decided to phase out about 7,500 ageing cabs. Hyundai shipped 30 Santro cars to the Mumbai taxi union. The number will be increased to 1,250 by the year-end. According to transport department order, taxis that are over 25 years old will have to be phased out, which immediately takes out 7,500 cabs.

Hyundai is offering the Santro cab at a discounted price of Rs.242, 500 for the non-air conditioned variant, while the same model costs over Rs.270, 000 ex-showroom in Mumbai. The company said the Santro cab would feature the black-and-yellow colour scheme required for taxis.
