WagonR will soon be hailing in place of black-n-yellow taxis. The old-aged black and yellow cabs that vroom past the Mumbai roads may soon become a history. Mumbai cab owners are in process of signing an agreement with Maruti Udyog Limited to support the replacement of taxi cabs with Maruti Wagon-R.
Cab owners are marching ahead with the shifting trend and demand of the commuters. The main idea behind the replacement is that the Wagon-R cabs are financially viable for both the cab owners and average Mumbaikars. It is easy and feasible to run an air-conditioned Wagon-R at the existing taxi price of Rs 13.
The government is also putting forward the desired help and supporting the cause of upgrading the Mumbai taxis. According to the government Mumbai is a hub of stock market and is well defined as a ‘business world of India’. Being such a world class city, it is required to have the best infrastructure including the best taxis or cabs running on roads.

Ya, that's right. WagonR can easily replace taxicabs in Mumbai. Wagon R gives offers a good fuel economy of about 12-14 km/l. I think this is good enough to maintain the existing cab prices even if the cab is air-conditioned. This will even give a good impression of the city to the tourists and other outsiders.
Hi Nicky! Even I do agree with what you say. But do you actually think that WagonR will be as successful as the old Ambassador and Fiat taxis in Mumbai? I doubt.
That is a bad thought. Just imagine how will a WagonR look coloured in black and yellow. Atleast I wont like to commute with that dirty looking black and yellow WagonR taxicabs.
I agree that Wagon R is financially viable. Even I own this car its really fabulous and for a city like Mumbai which has heavy traffic this kind of car will definitely help the car drivers and the Mumbai people. So this is really a good option for the Mumbai roads. Wagon R is simply superb so it should go ahead to introduce this car for taxi purpose.
