HOW TO REACH MUMBAI

  • Flight - The nearest airport to Mumbai is Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, that is in Mumbai itself! Many foreign airlines fly to Mumbai from the Sahara foreign Airport, which serves Mumbai. Nearly all of the main domestic and international destinations are connected to Mumbai by these flights. The airport has two terminals; one is located 30 km from Nariman Point's city core and the other is located 4 km from Santa Cruz's domestic terminal. Both of these terminals are equipped with services like currency exchange offices, duty-free shops, dining establishments, luggage storage areas, and visitor information centers.
  • Rail - Both the Western and Central Railways have their primary headquarters in this metropolis. These rails run express, passenger, and superfast trains that link Mumbai to other important towns. You can take a taxi, cab, bus, etc. to get to the Mumbai train terminal.
  • Road - The State roads and private operators have given Mumbai both opulent coaches and rickety rattletraps. Travel to different cities like Ahmednagar (253 km), Pune (152 km), and Shirdi, that is easily reachable from Mumbai (245 Km).

HOW TO GET AROUND

  • Local Train - To efficiently travel from one end of the city to the other, Mumbai local trains operate in a north-south direction. Many commuters use the train system to get to work in the city core. It is "Mumbai's life-line" and one of the busiest commuter train networks in the world, carrying more than 8 million people each day.
  • Metro - Only one east-west line between Ghatkopar and Versova in the suburbs is presently operational in Mumbai's air-conditioned Metro train rapid transport system. The route passes by the Mumbai International Airport before connecting at Andheri to the Western and Harbour lines of the city's local train system. It is a cheap way to get to the city's tourist area because you can board a direct train there from there.
  • Bus - The distinctive, clumsy red B.E.S.T buses, some of which are double-deckers, travel everywhere in Mumbai that trains do not.
  • Taxi - Mumbai's famous black-and-yellow kaali-peeli cabs are common throughout the city, but they are especially common in South Mumbai (where auto rickshaws are not allowed). Unlike many other cities in India, if you hail a taxi from the street in Mumbai, you won't have to fight with the driver to turn the meter on—this means no inflated fixed-price fares, even for foreign tourists.
  • Ferry - From Colaba's Gateway of India, ferries run throughout the day to Alibaug and Elephanta Island. Speedboat services are also available to Alibaug. However, from June to December, during the monsoon season, both ferries and speedboat service is halted.
