Mumbai
GETTING THERE
Air:
Mumbai is well connected by air, rail and road. Airplanes land
at Sahar( international flights) or Santacruz
Rail
Travel: Mumbai handles heavy upcountry traffic on two trunk
routes of the "Western" and "Central" railway. The main stations
are CST (VT) Dadar and Kurla on the eastern side of the city.
Churchgate, Mumbai Central, and Dadar are main stations on the
western side.
Mumbai
Central is the main station for long distance trains on the
Western Railway. Trains leaving for the Western parts and Northwest
of India depart from this neat little station. Dadar, Bandra,
Andheri and Borivli are the city station halts for some trunk
trains.
The
trains to the central , eastern and southern parts of India
leave from CST, Dadar or Kurla. Besides the long distance routes,
the excellent suburban electric railway is the lifeline of Mumbai.
Road:
Being a narrow island there are only three or four entrances
by road to Mumbai--the main being from the east across the Thana
creek from Navi Mumbai (Pune highway) and an older one from
North Thana creek (connecting to Nasik highway) . From the North
one can enter Mumbai across the Vasai creek too. (Ahmedabad
highway).
Ship:
The port of Mumbai is in the southern area. Various docks handle
passenger ships but busy travelers are unlikely to use this
mode. Ferry services to the mainland (Alibag) are crowded but
quite popular. Again this is unlikely to figure in plans of
relocators.
