The vibrant 'kaali-peeli' or black-and-yellow 'Premier Padmini' taxis, an enduring symbol of Mumbai's essence, exited the city's bustling streets. Their retirement coincided with the farewell to Mumbai's iconic red double-decker diesel buses operated by the BEST (Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport) undertaking, as reported by TOI. These taxis, an integral part of Mumbai's heritage for decades, have driven their last mile.
