Transportation in kolkata inspite of being metro city is still a mess.

Don't know what's wrong with Kolkata's cab drivers. Everytime I board a cab I either get to hear "Rs.50/60 jiada dedo" or else they knowingly take through complicated path just to surge meter count. If the government has planned and fixed prices for cab rides(except Ola, uber, taxi for sure, meru etc) then why always new stuffs are being demanded by cabbies? Moreover the NO REFUSAL written on cabs hardly makes sense since most of the times we get to hear a "NO" from cabbies. And special mention about those days when it rains heavily then just to travel few kilometers you either have to pay high price or else be ready to hear a refusal! For covering short distances there is no provision of e-rickshaws in many areas which creates problems as well. The ancient style rickshaws pulled by humans are way too harsh to take a ride on. It feels like someone is carrying your "bier" while you're still alive .
