TRAVEL:
“Mumbai local” or railways is the lifeline of Mumbai, in that, it’s the most convenient, quick, cheap, and therefore the most preferred mode of transport throughout the city. Only a Mumbaikar would understand and feel the pinch of a downtime experienced in railways. A one-way ticket to any destination could only get as expensive as INR20! As far as roadways are concerned, BEST is the “best”, as in the “cheapest” mode of transport with an excellent connectivity from one bus-stop to another. Other than that, auto-rickshaws and kaali-peelis or taxis can let you access every “gully” or “nukkad” at your own pace and convenience. For those who can splurge into comfort, or can’t compromise on comfort, or can’t bear the heat that could be scorching during the day, there are air-conditioned cab facilities like Ola and Uber.
