Cab fares have gone up a lot recently, and people are feeling the impact every day. A short ride within the city now costs so much that it sometimes matches the price of long-distance travel. In fact, there are situations where taking a cab can be more expensive than booking a flight. A recent online post highlighted this unusual trend. A man compared the fare of a cab ride in the NCR region with the price of a flight ticket—and surprisingly, the cab ride cost more. His simple comparison shocked many users and started a big discussion about how high cab fares have become.
He shared two images on X (formerly Twitter) to show the difference in travel costs, and his post pointed out the unexpected gap between cab prices and flight tickets. Further, he said in a post that, "Delhi to Leh Rs 1,540. Gurugram to Greater Noida Rs 1,952.

Delhi to Leh flight cheaper than cab
Today, flying from Delhi to Ladakh is cheaper than taking a cab from Gurgaon to Greater Noida." The first image shows a flight ticket from Delhi to Leh. It displays a fare of Rs 1,540 for a SpiceJet flight that takes 1 hour and 30 minutes. It looks like a regular flight listing with the usual details like timing, duration, and price. The second image shows the estimated cab fare from the Hyatt Regency in Gurugram to Bennett University. The cab shown is a Go Sedan, and the fare is Rs 1,952.61. It also mentions that the cab would arrive in about three minutes. The difference between the two prices is quite clear and very surprising.
