TAXI
|
|
Mumbai has a huge fleet of black and yellow taxis. They are the best travel option. Each one has a meter which is now out of date but the driver carries a card indicating the correct fare corresponding to the meter reading.
Please ensure that the meter is flagged down at the beginning of the journey. The silver and blue COOL CABS are air-conditioned and radio despatched. |

| Train |
|
Mumbai has perhaps the best suburban electric train system in the world. Best option for long distances. Trains run between 0430 and 0130 on three lines: Western, Harbour and Central. Avoid rush hours (0700 - 1100 and 1600-2100).

| Buses |
|
Mumbai's red double-decker buses are best for short distances in the city The problem with bus travel is figuring out where the buses go since the route maps sold at newstands are indecipherable. It is best to make as many friends as possible at the bus queue. Somebody will always help. |
