Kolkata To Mumbai

The city of dreams or a dream city?

Post by Travelmaniac | Delhi | Mar 29, 2007

Mumbai is connected by air with almost everywhere. Being a throbbing city, the fares are not too much either as there are so many flights in that sector. Try travel sites for special deals and offers for flights. Within the city, I take autos all the time. They never refuse to go anywhere if they are on the right side of the road. They don’t try and cheat you. The calculation is - whatever the reading on the meter, it is one rupee less. For instance it shows, 1.0, you pay them 9 rupees which is the least fare even if you are going 10 feet away. If it shows 3.6, you pay 35 rupees. It’s simple, once you get the hang of it. Cabs are very cheap too.

To reach bombay is the easiest thing because it is BOMBAY! Fly or take the train if really far - bomaby is well connected - else buses are good if you stay closer! Within bombay travel is not difficult - you have autos, cabs, buses, local trains of course or you can hire a cab or hire a car and drive!! And it's safe, it is! One warning - don't quite rely on the directions given by someone, try and ask more then 3 people for the same direction - bombay people like to have fun if you know what i mean! Plan your days well 'cause it's a huge city, you shouldn't waste time in travel like set days aside for town and leave early morning to avoid the rush!
