Desperate times call for desperate measures and unions of auto rickshaws and black and yellow taxis just made it their motto. They asked for basic fare hike while the passengers opting for them are decreasing by the day. The auto union has demanded a Rs 2 hike, while the taxi union has asked for a raise of Rs 1 on the basic fare.

In the last year or so, the number of black and yellow taxis has come down by around 4,000. File pic
