Hyderabad, Feb. 22 -- Unauthorised cab drivers at the Hyderabad Airport are raising concerns among both passengers and licensed drivers. Passengers face harassment with inflated prices, longer routes and being stuffed in with other passengers without consent while registered cab drivers face risks to their livelihood.

According to a report in Times Of India, 429 cases of cab touting were reported to the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) police station between January 1 to February 17. Despite measures taken by the government, like the deployment of 31 anti-touting personnel and making passengers aware of the authorised transport options like prepaid taxis and Pushpak buses etc, the problem persists.
