Bye-bye 'Kaali Peeli' taxi, today is the last day of this iconic vehicle on the roads of Mumbai
A transport department official said the previous Premier Padmini was registered as a black-and-yellow taxi at the Tardeo RTO which has jurisdiction over Mumbai city. Since the age limit for cabs in the city is 20 years, Premier Padmini taxis will not officially operate in Mumbai from Monday. Let us know in details.
As soon as people hear the name Mumbai, a picture of Mumbai is formed in their mind, in which it is common to get the image of Bada Pav, Marine Drive and Kaali Peeli Taxi. However, unfortunately, from tomorrow onwards black and yellow taxis will not be seen on the streets of Mumbai. The Transport Department has banned black-yellow taxis (Premier Padmini) from plying on the roads from October 30. For your information, at present there is one last black-yellow taxi left in Mumbai.

Premier Padmini Taxi is the pride of Mumbai. This vehicle was last registered by a person named Abdul Karim Karsekar. Abdul says that this is not just a taxi, it is the pride of Mumbai and our life. The change came after public transporter Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) discontinued double-decker diesel buses, which had a lifespan of only 15 years on Mumbai roads.
People visiting Mumbai or the people of Mumbai consider the double-decker buses and black-yellow taxis as heritage, which will be greatly missed by the people on the streets of Mumbai from tomorrow. These are those vehicles with which many people have fond memories. Some have demanded that at least one 'Premier Padmini' be preserved on the road or in a museum.
