Taxi drivers complained that their designated parking stands near Marine Drive in South Mumbai are being occupied by private vehicles. Two of the spots are at either end of G Road near Marine Lines railway station. While two others are on by D Road, outside the Churchgate railway station entrance on IMC Marg.

Though a traffic police officer who patrols the area stated that they act against all violators, and don’t differentiate between private vehicles and taxis, some cab drivers think otherwise. The cops state that they do stop motorists if they see them trying to park at a taxi stand, but it is difficult to always keep an eye on them, as the number of lanes outnumber the cops.
