Getting around in Mumbai

The city of Mumbai is literally on the go at all times of the day, and travelling in the maximum city can be an adventure in itself. To escape the traffic-laden bottlenecks and busy parking spaces, most of the locals opt for the efficient public transport system, which makes getting around fairly easy. Located in south Mumbai, Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus and Mumbai Central are two major stations from where commuters can board a mainline Western Railway train well as a local train to travel within Mumbai. Churchgate is another local train station where local Western Line trains start and terminate. Other stations like the Bandra Terminus and Borivali also act as important transit points. After you step out, you will easily spot a bunch of black-and-yellow taxis and autos which ply on metered rates. In addition to these, the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (known as BEST) provides frequent services across the tangled road-network of the city. Mumbai’s most popular tourist favourites also include a double-decker bus ride and chariot ride from Nariman Point and a ferry ride from the Gateway of India.
