Eg: Baga to Thivim Railway Station = 23 Kms and Per Km Fare (Swift Dzire AC) = 43 Rs / KM
Total Amount = 23 X 43 = 989 (Approx 1000 INR)
I have verified these rates as of Dec 2023 for Tourist Taxis.

the station. On the other hand, the tourist taxis that pick you up from beachside and drop you to station go back empty.

Eventually, the passengers have to pay for this empty return journey which increases the rate and is a complete loot.

It is high time that the govt does something for the people rather than just supporting these unfair practices. They have absolutely failed to provide the basic facilities at a fair price.
