Private car running illegally as taxi

The other day I was waiting at Gulshan-1 intersection for transport to reach my home. All the vehicles plying the road were crowded with passengers. Then I saw a private car just after pulling up at the bus stop started taking Mohakhali-bound passengers. The driver was asking two to three times more the fare.

Very often we see this practice on Dhaka roads. These drivers of private cars breach their employers' trust by doing so. And commuters must not get into any such cars as many unpleasant events, for example, robbery or kidnapping, can happen in these cars.
