Mumbai Locals

First revolting but then what would you do if this was the only transport by which you could travel 40kms in one hour(when you are lucky). Just toughen up and enter the labyrinth of Mumbai trains.

Well this is a travellers handbook of mumbai locals which I would have to complete in a couple of posts. First is the bifurcation of the trains ie. Western, Central and Harbour. The first thing would be to download the mindicator (http://m-indicator.mobond.com/) which would give you detailed listing of all the places covered in the different line , as well as the timetable as well.

Then whether you wish to travel for a month or for a day , depending on which you would have to get a coupon book or a daily pass or a monthly pass.

Then starts the actual adventure of gettting onto the train , you can consider yourself lucky if you have to start after 10.00am as you can happily miss the peak hour, if not brace yourself for one happening ride.
