Mumbai has a huge fleet of black and yellow taxis. They are the best travel option. Each one has a meter which is now out of date but the driver carries a card indicating the correct fare corresponding to the meter reading. Please ensure that the meter is flagged down at the beginning of the journey. The silver and blue COOL CABS are air-conditioned and radio dispatched. Cool Cabs can be booked from your hotel rooms directly on Tel. 2632744 or 2632745.

Available only in the suburbs (Bandra and Sion onwards). Fare conversions apply as per the card.

Mumbai's red double-decker buses are best for short distances in the city The problem with bus travel is figuring out where the buses go since the route maps sold at newsstands are indecipherable. It is best to make as many friends as possible at the bus queue. Somebody will always help.

Air-conditioned buses run between the World Trade Center (WTC) and Oshiwara Depot with several stops in between. The first bus leaves Oshiwara Depot at 0655 and WTC at 0855. The last bus leaves Oshiwara Depot at 1640 and WTC at 1840. They operate Mon-Sat at 20 minutes intervals
