Public transport options in Mumbai
If you are new in the city, you have several transportation options such as: train, taxi, bus, and car rental are available for Mumbai sightseeing.
Mumbai metro is a rapid transit system currently operating with one line that runs from Versova to Ghatkopar. It serves the city of Mumbai and the metropolitan area. At the moment, four other lines are under construction, while the expected date of completion is in 2025.
Most people use the suburban rail. Mumbai has an extensive railway network that consists of three lines. The Central Main Line, the Western Line, and the Harbour Line operate from 04:00 till 01:00.
Buses run from 05:00 to 00:00. Selected routes run beyond midnight, but on a less frequent schedule. The average frequency between the buses is from 5 to 30 minutes.
Mumbai taxis are cheap and available anywhere in the city. Most taxis are small-medium sized cars, without air-conditioning, and you can recognise them by the black and yellow colours. However, if you want a comfortable, air-conditioned ride, it's best to travel by branded taxi companies that operate at official tariffs.
Auto-rickshaws operate only in the western suburbs beyond Bandra and in the central suburbs beyond Sion. Also, there are a few rental car offices that you can rent a car, or rent a bike and drive yourself along to the city or take you to/from the airport.
