Bus
The Public Bus Service (BEST) is a system run by a government organisation. It has a fleet of red single and double decker buses. There are air conditioned buses as well. While the buses cannot be compared to buses in most European capitals, Mumbai is said to have the best and safest organised bus transport network among major Indian cities.

Sub-urban Electric Trains
Local railway lines connect all corners of the city with one another. While the train network is good, it struggles to keep up with the rapid growth of population and currently the network carries three times the number of people it is designed for during peak hours. There have been more than 20,000 deaths as a result in the last five years. Click here for train routes and schedules in Mumbai.
Taxi/ Autorickshaw
There are a number of taxi options; the no-frills black and yellow metered taxi, the air-conditioned blue and silver metered cabs known as Cool Cabs and Radio taxis. An even cheaper alternative is the three-wheeled autorickshaw. These are however not allowed in certain parts of the city. Click here to find out more on taxi options and numbers to call.
Ferries
Ferries connect Vashi to the Gateway of India. Ferry services are also available to visit the Elephanta Caves and other nearby places.
