Re: End of an era for Premier Padmini taxis on Mumbai roads Tweet by Mr Anand Mahindra yesterday:-
"From today, the iconic Premier Padmini Taxi vanishes from Mumbai’s roads. They were clunkers, uncomfortable, unreliable, noisy. Not much baggage capacity either. But for people of my vintage, they carried tons of memories. And they did their job of getting us from point A to point B. Goodbye and alvida, kaali-peeli taxis. Thank you for the good times…" https://twitter.com/anandmahindra/st...I2y9mHLug&s=19
My tweet in reply to Mr Anand Mahindra's tweet:-
"They were clunkers as their design dated back to the 1950's, true but not as clumsy and awkward like the Mahindra CJ 500D, a 1975 entry into our automobile scene."
And a tweet by Roads of Mumbai:-
